Confidence Fusion

چکیده
The field of sensor fusion is well developed, but approaches to describing the confidence one ought to have in the fused result as a function of the confidence one has in the individual measurements is not. This speculative paper is intended to stimulate discussion in the robotics and instrumentation communities regarding how to approach “confidence fusion” in a way that can be practically applied in robotics applications and is intuitively satisfying with respect our feelings regarding how confidence in measurements ought to propagate. Preliminary ideas are developed in the context of a scenario wherein two one-bitoutput sensors in which we have different confidence are used together. The results are compared with numerical experiments simulating a real-life experiment that we have described in the field of sensor fusion for context-aware computing. Index Terms — confidence fusion, context-aware computing, Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence, sensor fusion

confFuse: High-Confidence Fusion Gene Detection across Tumor Entities
Background: Fusion genes play an important role in the tumorigenesis of many cancers. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have been successfully applied in fusion gene detection for the last several years, and a number of NGS-based tools have been developed for identifying fusion genes during this period. Most fusion gene detection tools based on RNA-seq data report a large number of ...
متن کاملConfidence-Guided Sequential Label Fusion for Multi-atlas Based Segmentation
Label fusion is a key step in multi-atlas based segmentation, which combines labels from multiple atlases to make the final decision. However, most of the current label fusion methods consider each voxel equally and independently during label fusion. In our point of view, however, different voxels act different roles in the way that some voxels might have much higher confidence in label determi...

متن کاملImproving Fusion with Margin-Derived Confidence in Biometric Authentication Tasks
This study investigates a new confidence criterion to improve fusion via a linear combination of scores of several biometric authentication systems. This confidence is based on the margin of making a decision, which answers the question, “after observing the score of a given system, what is the confidence (or risk) associated to that given access?”. In the context of multimodal and intramodal f...

In this paper we present the results of infrared processing and sensor fusion obtained within the European research project GEODE (Ground Explosive Ordnance DEtection system) that strives for the realization of a vehicle-mounted, multi-sensor, anti-personnel land-mine detection system for humanitarian demining. The system has three sensor types: an infrared camera, a ground penetrating radar an...
