Wireless Sensor nodes are being employed in various applications like in traffic control, battlefield, and habitat monitoring, emergency rescue, aerospace systems, healthcare systems and in intruder tracking recently. Tracking techniques differ in almost every application of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), as WSN is itself application specific. The chapter aims to present the current state of art of the tracking techniques. It throws light on how mathematically target tracking is perceived and then explains tracking schemes and routing techniques based on tracking techniques. An insight of how to code localization techniques in matlab simulation tool is provided and analyzed. It further draws the attention of the readers to types of tracking scenarios. Some of the well established tracking techniques are also surveyed for the reader's benefit. The chapter presents with open research challenges that need to be addressed along with target tracking in wireless sensor networks.
