This paper firstly established the model of warehouse targeting and tracking system based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The principle of Location and tracking is based on the maximum likelihood estimation method of multilateral measurement. According to monitoring motion trajectory of the same unknown target node within a continuous period of time, the motion equation can be established. It can achieve the effective tracking of warehouse target that KF algorithm is applied to carrying out the state estimation of warehouse target motion equation. Simulation results show that, while the warehouse target tracking system state equations are linear, using KF algorithm can obtain satisfactory tracking accuracy.
