Target tracking has been widely applied in various areas of wireless sensor networks. The problem of nodes selection of target tracking in wireless sensor networks is studied in this paper, and two tracking quality aware nodes selection algorithms are presented, which exploits the tradeoff between tracking quality and energy consumption to extend the lifetime of WSNs. The paper analyzes the factors that influence the lifetime of sensor nodes including the false alarm probability, the residual energy and the cost of communication and sampling of sensor nodes. Based on these analyses, we give the definition of the lifetime of the network and choose nodes with the maximal lifetime under the guarantee of the given false alarm threshold. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms can extend the lifetime of WSNs efficiently.
