The DSmT approach for information fusion and some open problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the recent theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning, known as DSmT (Dezert-Smarandache Theory) in the literature, which deals with imprecise, uncertain and potentially highly conflicting sources of information. Recent publications have shown the interest and the potential ability of DSmT to solve fusion problems where Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) provides counter-intuitive results, especially when conflict between sources becomes high and information becomes vague and imprecise. This short paper presents the foundations of DSmT, its main rules of combination including the most recent ones and introduce briefly some open challenging problems in fusion.

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 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 ...

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 کاملDSmT: A new paradigm shift for information fusion
The management and combination of uncertain, imprecise, fuzzy and even paradoxical or high conflicting sources of information has always been and still remains of primal importance for the development of reliable information fusion systems. In this short survey paper, we present the theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning, known as DSmT (Dezert-Smarandache Theory) in literature, developed...
