Evidential Reasoning in Parallel Hierarchical Vision Programs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an efficient adaptation and application of the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence, one that can be used effectively in a massively parallel hierarchical system for visual pattern perception. It describes the techniques used, and shows in an extended example how they serve to improve the system's performance as it applies a multiple-level set of processes.

Hierarchical Evidential Reasoning Networks for Object Recognition in an Outdoor Scene
A new methodology for classification of objects and categorisation of concepts is proposed. Fuzzy concept or category can be defined by a set of examples. Evidence is collected from all the features in each example in the example set. If a feature of an example appears to exist in an unknown object, it assumes that there is some support for the unknown object to be classified as the concept of ...
متن کاملEvidential Reasoning for Object Recognition
The authors present a framework to guide development of evidential reasoning in object recognition systems. Principles of evidential reasoning processes for open-world object recognition are proposed and applied to build evidential reasoning capabilities. The principles summarize research and findings by the authors up through the mid-1990s, including seminal results in object-centered computer...

In the last two decades, product recovery systems have received increasing attention due to several reasons such as new governmental regulations and economic advantages. One of the most important activities of these systems is to assign returned products to suitable reverse manufacturing alternatives. Uncertainty of returned products in terms of quantity, quality, and time complicates the decis...
متن کاملComparisons of Reasoning Mechanisms for Computer Vision
An evidential reasoning mechanism based on the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence is introduced. Its performance in real-world image analysis is compared with other mechanisms based on the Bayesian formalism and a simple weight combination method.
