The prediction formula and a risk-based sensor scheduling method in target detection with guiding information

Sensor scheduling is used to improve the sensing performance in the estimation of targets' states. However, few papers are on the sensor scheduling for target detection with guiding information. This letter can remedy this deficiency. A risk-based target detection method with guiding information is provided firstly, based on which, the sensor scheduling approach is aiming at reducing the risk and uncertainty in target detection, namely risk-based sensor scheduling method. What should be stressed is that the Prediction Formula in sensor scheduling is proposed. Lastly, some examples are conducted to stress the effectiveness of this proposed method.
