Features of oil spills and look-alikes in polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images always play an important role spill detection. Many detection algorithms have been implemented based on these features. Although environmental factors such as wind speed are to distinguish look-alikes, some do not consider the factors. To more accurately image features, a new algorithm Dempster-Shafer e...

Evidentia.l rea.. '>oning in ex pert systems has often used ad-hoc uncertainty calculi. Although it is generally accepted that probability theory provides a firm theoretical fo undat ion, researchers have found some problems with its usc as a workable uncertainty calculus. Among these problems arc representation ol' ignorance, consistency of probabilistic judgements, and adjustment of a priori ...

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 ...

The emergence of expert systems as one of the major areas of activity within AI has resulted in a rapid growth of interest within the AI community in issues relating to the management of uncertainty and evidential reasoning. During the past two years, in particular, the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence has att,ract,ed considerable attention as a promising method of dealing with some of the ba...
