A Convolution Location Method for Multi-Node Scheduling in Wireless Sensor Networks
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This paper presents a novel convolution-based continuous object localization algorithm. The problem is well-presented and the paper is correctly structured. However, some minor issues must be addressed to consider the paper for publication:
1- There are multiple typos and grammatical errors such as:
On Page 2 "All of these localization methods is based..."
On Page 2. In the second novelty there is an A which must be removed.
On Page 3 "P. Hao et al. proposed a tow-stage..."
On Page 4 "thecalculating"
On Page 4 "Alloted"
On Page 6 "will be list"
Please revise all the paper and refine the overall writting.
2- Please improve equation 2 by introducing the equation in a formal way with subindexes.
3- Please improve the quality of the images. For example, Figure 10 is very low quality.
4- Please give some idea of the way the limitations of the algorithm can be addressed just before the Conclusion Section.
In my opinion, this paper deserves to be published after these modification.

Response 1:
Thanks for your advice and reminder. I check the article again and find other simlar errors. The following is my revising:
Page 2: ”All of these localization methods is based”-> ”All of these localization methods are based…”
Page 3: ”P. Hao et al. proposed a tow-stage... ”->” P. Hao et al. proposed a two-stage...”
Page 4:” thecalculating”->”the calculating”
Page 4：noncontinuity –> non-continuity
Page 4: “alloted”->”allotted”
Page 6: “will be list…”->” will be listed…”
Page 7: “multinode”->” multi-node”
Page 9: “nondestructively”->”non- destructively”
Page 15: “The 500 × 500 network represent an region…”->” The 500 × 500 network represent a region…”
Page 15: “In order not to lose generality, 300 sensors…”->” Without loss of generality, 300 sensors…”

Page 15: “…to a 27 × 27 gird matrix.”->”… to a 27 × 27 girds matrix”

Page 19: “the CCOLis generally based…”->” the CCOL is generally based…”
Page 20: “multimobile service node scheduling”->” multi-mobile service node scheduling”
Point 2: Please improve equation 2 by introducing the equation in a formal way with subindexes.
Response 2:
In page 8, we revised the equation 2, and give all of the symbols in detail. The following is the modified screenshot（Please see the attachment）.
Point 3: Please improve the quality of the images. For example, Figure 10 is very low quality.
Response 3:
Thanks for your suggestion, we update the figure 2 and figure 10 on page 5 and page 20.
Point 4: Please give some idea of the way the limitations of the algorithm can be addressed just before the Conclusion Section.
Response 4:
At the ending of section 5 on page 20, we point out the promotion and improvements for our algorithm. In view of the limitations, we add the description of the method to reduce the effect of mesh roughness on our positioning accuracy. The following is the modified screenshot.（Please see the attachment）

Reviewer 2 Report
The authors propose a convolution-based continuous object localization algorithm that they name CCOL. In addition CCOL is presented with strategy model to respond to emergencies caused by multiple continuous targets in WSNs. The paper is quite focused in the subject of the boundary of the shape of targets, in which the authors propose a target localization algorithm.
Overall, the paper has a few grammar errors and typos. Please see attached PDF with some of the issues highlighted in red.
In terms of structure, the paper is OK. The algorithm is well explained.
In terms of the experiments and evaluation, I would recommend the authors to present additional experiments and therefore to extend their conclusions in a more robust manner.

Response 2:
Thanks again for your review and suggestion. We sincerely accept your comment on the experiments in this paper, and also have realized our inadequacies. Therefore, we present additional experiments to verify our location algorithm. We take different convolution kernel matrices to get the position of the target and present the experiment result on the page 16 and 17. Please see the attachment.
On page 17, we add some figures to present the localization process of the target area with different convolution kernel matrices, and discuss the influence of different convolution kernel matrices on the localization accuracy of the target area.
