Abstract

We compared the performance of Bayes Theory, Fuzzy Set Theory, Heuristic method and Dempster-Shafer Theory in the identification of aircrafts by using the information from different sensors. From the results of the simulation, the Fuzzy method produces the best result. The final identification could be improved if specific features of each type of aircraft are available. To get more accurate object identification, the results from each method can be combined with the best assignment of values for each method.

Fusion of uncertain information using vague sets and dempster-shafer theories
IRI'09: Proceedings of the 10th IEEE international conference on Information Reuse & Integration

During the process of fusing multi-source information, a challenging problem is how to deal effectively with the available data and information that are vague, imprecise and uncertain. Vague sets are suitable for accurately describing the uncertain ...
A target intention recognition method based on information classification processing and information fusion
Abstract
Intention recognition of non-cooperative target is an important basis for battlefield command decision-making. Recent advances suggest recognizing target intention from a perspective of data-driven. However, existing data-driven models do not ...
Highlights
- An artificial neural network model with information classification processing and information fusion is constructed for target intention recognition.
- An interactive feature-level fusion method is proposed to model the fine-grained ...

Belief Functions: Theory and Applications
Abstract
Dempster-Shafer theory (DST) can effectively distinguish between imprecise information and unknown information, which is widely used in information fusion. However, when the evidence highly contradicts each other, it may lead to counter-intuitive ...
