Aiming at the target recognition problem of multi-sensor with multiple characteristic indexes, a new fusion method is proposed. The method firstly substitutes the distance of confidence for the ordinary attribute values, and the weights of attributes are derived by solving the optimal programming of maximizing the total square deviation of the confidence distance for all attributes. Then accord...
