The three-dimensional sensor networks are supposed to be deployed for many applications. So it is signifi-cant to do research on the problems of coverage and target detection in three-dimensional sensor networks. In this paper, we introduced Clifford algebra in 3D Euclidean space, developed the coverage model of 3D sensor networks based on Clifford algebra, and proposed a method for detecting target moving. With Clif-ford Spinor, calculating the target moving formulation is easier than traditional methods in sensor node’s coverage area.
