Random Sets: Unification and Computation for Information Fusion—A Retrospective Assessment
نویسنده
چکیده
The author introduced the key ideas of finite-set statistics (FISST) between 1994 and 1996, as a means of theoretically unifying the major aspects of information fusion under a single probabilistic umbrella. FISST has been considerably extended and refined since that time, especially in regard to the development of principled approximation strategies. For the last several years FISST has been and is being applied to a number of practical applied-research problems. Several research teams around the world are currently investigating FISST techniques. The purpose of this keynote paper is to provide a retrospective assessment of the last decade of random set information fusion research: its antecedents; its techniques, tools, conceptual evolution, and current state of the art; its applications; its critics and imitators; and its possible future directions.

Multimodal 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...
متن کاملA novel ranking method for intuitionistic fuzzy set based on information fusion and application to threat assessment
A novel ranking method based on multi-time information fusion is proposed for intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and applied to the threat assessment problem, a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) one. This method integrates a designed intuitionistic fuzzy entropy (IFE), the closeness degree of technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), the decision maker¡¯s (DM¡¯...
متن کاملComplete Sets of Transformations for General E-Unification
This paper is concerned with E-unification in arbitrary equational theories. We extend the method of transformations on systems of terms, developed by Martelli-Montanari for standard unification, to Eunification by giving two sets of transformations, BT and T, which are proved to be sound and complete in the sense that a complete set of E-unifiers for any equational theory E can be enumerated b...
متن کاملSweep Line Algorithm for Convex Hull Revisited
Convex hull of some given points is the intersection of all convex sets containing them. It is used as primary structure in many other problems in computational geometry and other areas like image processing, model identification, geographical data systems, and triangular computation of a set of points and so on. Computing the convex hull of a set of point is one of the most fundamental and imp...
