A Weighted Evidence Combination Method Based on Improved Conflict Measure Factor
نویسندگان
چکیده
D-S evidence theory is usually used for the fusion of multi-source information. But the fusion result is always against with general knowledge for the heavy conflict of evidence. Research on combination of conflict evidence at home and abroad is summarized and analyzed in detail. On the base of this, the conclusion that modified evidence combination method of conflict evidence is more useful can be dawn. Effective evidence conflict measure is the first step of conflict evidence combination. The existing conflict measure methods are summarized and the main problem of those methods is analyzed in detail. Based on previous research of conflict evidence combination, a modified measure factor of evidence conflict which is called Mconf is put forward. Mconf is mainly built up with modified distance of evidence named mdBPA and traditional evidence conflict factor named k. The examples in this paper show that Mconf can measure the evidence conflict correctly, both for general evidence and conflict evidence.

Multiple-feature Tracking Based on the Improved Dempster-Shafer Theory
Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is widely used in the fields of decision level information fusion. In order to overcome the problem of the counter-intuitive results encountered when using Dempster’s combination rule to combine the evidences which exist high conflict, a modified sequential weighted evidence combination is proposed. Firstly, the credibility of each evidence can be obtained based ...

As an important tool of information fusion, Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is widely applied in handling the uncertain information in fault diagnosis. However, an incorrect result may be obtained if the combined evidence is highly conflicting, which may leads to failure in locating the fault. To deal with the problem, an improved evidential-Induced Ordered Weighted Averaging (IOWA) sensor data...
