Abstract

In the current paper we consider the task of object classification in wireless sensor networks. Due to restricted battery capacity, minimizing the energy consumption is a main concern in wireless sensor networks. Assuming that each feature needed for classification is acquired by a sensor, a sequential classifier combination approach is proposed that aims at minimizing the number of features used for classification while maintaining a given correct classification rate. In experiments with data from the UCI repository, the feasibility of this approach is demonstrated.
