Belief fusion consists of taking into account multiple sources of belief about a domain of interest. This paper describes cumulative and averaging multi-source belief fusion in the formalism of subjective logic, which represent generalisations of binary-source belief fusion operators previously described. The advantage of this approach is that we can model and analyse belief fusion situations involving...
In the framework of belief functions, basic belief assignments building is an important step that should be made carefully since it can greatly influence the performances of a system. In the context of tree species recognition through a leaf and a bark, we analyze the impact of Bayesian as well as consonant basic belief assignments in the case of fusion of uncertain and not equally reliable sources...
Some concerns are raised on the prevailing generalized covariance intersection (GCI) based Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) fusion for distributed multiple target tracking under cluttered environments, which is both communicative and computation expensive, and generates a large amount of Gaussian components (GCs) of little physical significance. The problems become more serious...
The theory of belief functions is an effective tool to deal with the multiple uncertain information. In recent years, many evidence combination rules have been proposed in this framework, such as the conjunctive rule, the cautious rule, the PCR (Proportional Conflict Redistribution) rules and so on. These rules can be adopted for different types of sources. However, most of these rules are not applicable...
In many applications involving epistemic uncertainties usually modeled by belief functions, it is often necessary to approximate general (non-Bayesian) basic belief assignments (BBAs) to subjective probabilities (called Bayesian BBAs). This necessity occurs if one needs to embed the fusion result in a system based on the probabilistic framework and Bayesian inference (e.g. tracking systems), or if...
