Abstract:

In this paper, Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty measure 2 (GAU2), as a newuncertainty measure, is considered to evaluate uncertainty in a localization problem in which cameras’images are used. The theory that is applied to a hierarchical structure for a decision making to combinecameras’ images is Dezert-Smarandache theory. To evaluate decisions, an analysis of uncertainty isexecuted at every level of the decision-making system. The second generalization of AggregatedUncertainty measure (GAU2) which is applicable for DSmT results is used as a supervisor. TheGAU2 measure in spite of the GAU1 measure can be applied to the problems with vague borders orcontinuous events. This measure may help to make decisions based on better preference combinationsof sensors or methods of fusion. GAU2 is used to evaluate uncertainty after applying classic DSmTand hybrid DSmT with extra knowledge. Therefore by using the decision making system, results withless uncertainty are generated in spite of high conflict sensory data.

Uncertainty evaluation for an ultrasonic data fusion based target differentiation problem using Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty measure 2

The purpose of this paper is uncertainty evaluation in a target differentiation problem. In the problem ultrasonic data fusion is applied using Dezert-Smarandache theory (DSmT). Besides of presenting a scheme to target differentiation using ultrasonic sensors, the paper evaluates DSmT-based fused results in uncertainty point of view. The study obtains pattern of data for targets by a set of two...

Uncertainty 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...

Satellite image fusion using Dezert - Smarandache theory

Free and hybrid models of multisource satellite images fusion are developed using the plausible and paradoxical reasoning theory of Dezert-Smarandache. The aim of this work is to show the contribution of these fusion models for improving the thematic classification and the quantification of change. The maps obtained by the free model are composed by simple classes and compound classes. Neverthe...

Decision Theory = Performance Measure Theory + Uncertainty Theory

The decision theory is defined typically as the combination of utility theory and probability theory. In this paper we generalize the decision theory as the performance measure theory and uncertainty theory. Intelligent agents look for approximate optimal decisions under bounded resources and uncertainty. The $-calculus process algebra for problem solving applies the cost performance measures t...

Estimation of Target Behavior Tendencies using Dezert-Smarandache Theory

This paper presents an approach for target behavior tendency estimation (Receding, Approaching). It is developed on the principles of DezertSmarandache theory (DSmT) of plausible and paradoxical reasoning applied to conventional sonar amplitude measurements, which serve as an evidence for corresponding decision-making procedures. In some real world situations it is difficult to finalize these p...
