Advances and Applications of DSmT for Information Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 respect to the Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST), a mathematical theory of evidence developed in 1976 by Glenn Shafer. We present the DSm combination rules and provide some simple illustrative examples and comparisons with other main rules of combination available in the literature for the combination of information for simple fusion problems. Detailed presentations on recent advances and applications of DSmT are presented in the next chapters of this book.

Designing a Home Security System using Sensor Data Fusion with DST and DSMT Methods
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...
متن کاملUncertainty Measurement for Ultrasonic Sensor Fusion Using Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty Measure 1
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...
متن کاملAdvances and Applications of DSmT for Information Fusion. Collected Works. Volume 4
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...
