Target classification is an important research issue addressed in WMSN, which has strict requirement in robustness, quickness and accuracy. This paper proposes a collaborative semi-supervised classifier learning algorithm to achieve durative online learning for support vector machine (SVM) based robust target classification. The proposed algorithm incrementally carries out the semi-supervised classifier learning process in hierarchical WMSN, with the collaboration of multiple sensor nodes in a hybrid computing paradigm. For decreasing the energy consumption and improving the performance, some metrics are introduced to evaluate the effectiveness of the samples in specific sensor nodes, and a sensor
