A MRF Based Segmentatiom Approach to Classification Using Dempster Shafer Fusion for Multisensor Imagery
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique has been suggested for multisensor data fusion to obtain landcover classification. It takes care of feature level fusion with Dempster-Shafer rule and data level fusion with Markov Random Field model based approach vis-a-vis for determining the optimal segmentation. Subsequently, segments are validated and classification accuracy for the test data is evaluated. Two illustrations of data fusion of optical images and a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image is presented and accuracy results are compared with those of some recent techniques in literature for the same image data.

A new iterative approach of multisensor data fusion based on the Dempster-Shafer formalism is presented. Mass functions, formalized by a Gaussian model, are estimated at each iteration using the output fused image and the source images. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated on synthetic images.

In this paper, target differentiation based on pattern of data which are obtained by a set of two ultrasonic sensors is considered. A neural network based target classifier is applied to these data to categorize the data of each sensor. Then the results are fused together by Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) and Dezert–Smarandache theory (DSmT) to make final decision. The Generalized Aggregated Unce...

Detection of brain tissues using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an active and challenging research area in computational neuroscience. Brain MRI artifacts lead to an uncertainty in pixel values. Therefore, brain MRI segmentation is a complicated concern which is tackled by a novel data fusion approach. The proposed algorithm has two main steps. In the first step the brain MRI is divided to...
متن کاملApplication of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory to unsupervised classification in multisource remote sensing
The aim of this paper is to show that Dempster–Shafer evidence theory may be successfully applied to unsupervised classification in multisource remote sensing. Dempster–Shafer formulation allows to consider unions of classes, and to represent both imprecision and uncertainty, through the definition of belief and plausibility functions. These two functions, derived from mass function, are genera...
