A Comparison of Criteria for Decision Fusion and Parameter Estimation in Statistical Multisensor Image Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study two related topics in decision fusion for multisensor image classification. The first topic is the use of a weighted logarithmic opinion pool compared to the statistical product combination rule. The performance is compared on three data sets. The second topic is related to different criteria for parameter estimation for a statistical fusion model. We propose an alternative criterion for estimation of the mean vector and the covariance matrix of a Gaussian model based on minimizing the number of misclassified training samples and compare the performance of this to the traditional Maximum Likelihood approach.

A New Method for Multisensor Data Fusion Based on Wavelet Transform in a Chemical Plant
This paper presents a new multi-sensor data fusion method based on the combination of wavelet transform (WT) and extended Kalman filter (EKF). Input data are first filtered by a wavelet transform via Daubechies wavelet “db4” functions and the filtered data are then fused based on variance weights in terms of minimum mean square error. The fused data are finally treated by extended Kalman filter...

متن کاملMultimodal medical image fusion based on Yager’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets
The objective of image fusion for medical images is to combine multiple images obtained from various sources into a single image suitable for better diagnosis. Most of the state-of-the-art image fusing technique is based on nonfuzzy sets, and the fused image so obtained lags with complementary information. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) are determined to be more suitable for civilian, and medi...
