چکیده

Depending on the representation setting, different combination rules have been proposed for fusing information from distinct sources. Moreover in each setting, different sets of axioms that combination rules should satisfy have been advocated, thus justifying the existence of alternative rules (usually motivated by situations where the behavior of other rules was found unsatisfactory). These sets of axioms are usually purely considered in their own settings, without in-depth analysis of common properties essential for all the settings. This paper introduces core properties that, once properly instantiated, are meaningful in different representation settings ranging from logic to imprecise probabilities. The following representation settings are especially considered: classical set representation, possibility theory, and evidence theory, the latter encompassing the two other ones as special cases. This unified discussion of combination rules across different settings is expected to provide a fresh look on some old but basic issues in information fusion.

A formal framework for Data Fusion

In order to develop a formal framework for data fusion field main data fusion models are observed and a logical model of data fusion is suggested. It is shown that considered data fusion models are representable in the logical model. The logical model being insufficiently general to compare different methods of data fusion is reformulated on category theory language. After that a number of info...
