چکیده
Over the years, there have been many proposed methods in set-based tracking. One example of set-based methods is the use of Dempster-Shafer (DS) techniques to support belief-function (BF) tracking. In this paper, we overview the issues and concepts that motivated DS methods for simultaneous tracking and classification/identification. DS methods have some attributes, if applied correctly; but there are some pitfalls that need to be carefully avoided such as the redistribution of the mass associated with conflicting measurements. Such comparisons and applications are found in Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) methods from which the Proportional Conflict Redistribution (PCR5) rule supports a more comprehensive approach towards applying evidential and BF techniques to target tracking. In the paper, we overview two decades of research in the area of BF tracking and conclude with a comparative analysis of Bayesian, Dempster-Shafer, and the PCR5 methods.

Scope of this paper is to investigate the performances of different identity declaration fusion algorithms in terms of probability of correct classification, supposing that the information for combination of the inferences from the different classifier is affected by measurement errors. In particular, these information have been assumed to be provided in the form of confusion matrices. Six iden...
متن کاملAdvances and Applications of DSmT for Information Fusion
This chapter presents a general overview and foundations of the DSmT, i.e. the recent theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning developed by the authors, specially for the static or dynamic fusion of information arising from several independent but potentially highly conflicting, uncertain and imprecise sources of evidence. We introduce and justify here the basis of the DSmT framework with ...

Today due to the importance and necessity of implementing security systems in homes and other buildings, systems with higher certainty, lower cost and with sensor fusion methods are more attractive, as an applicable and high performance methods for the researchers. In this paper, the application of Dempster-Shafer evidential theory and also the newer, more general one Dezert-Smarandache theory ...

متن کاملA Bayesian approach to fusing uncertain, imprecise and conflicting information
The Dezert–Smarandache theory (DSmT) and transferable belief model (TBM) both address concerns with the Bayesian methodology as applied to applications involving the fusion of uncertain, imprecise and conflicting information. In this paper, we revisit these concerns regarding the Bayesian methodology in the light of recent developments in the context of the DSmT and TBM. We show that, by exploi...
