De-combination of belief function based on optimization

In the theory of belief functions, the evidence combination is a kind of decision-level information fusion. Given two or more Basic Belief Assignments(BBAs) originated from different information sources, the combination rule is used to combine them to expect a better decision result. When only a combined BBA is given and original BBAs are discarded, if one wants to analyze the difference between the information sources, evidence de-combination is needed to determine the original BBAs.

A novel approximation of basic probability assignment based on rank-level fusion

Belief functions theory is an important tool in the field of information fusion. However, when the cardinality of the frame of discernment becomes large, the high computational cost of evidence combination will become the bottleneck of belief functions theory in real applications. The basic probability assignment (BPA) approximations, which can reduce the complexity of the BPAs, are always used to reduce the computational cost of evidence combination. In this paper, both the cardinalities and the mass assignment values of focal elements are used as the criteria of reduction. The two criteria are jointly used by using rank-level fusion. Some experiments and related analyses are provided to illustrate and justify the proposed new BPA approximation approach.     

模糊聚类方法在PIO探测中的应用

用于驾驶员诱发振荡(PIO)探测的特征参数可以有效地反映出PIO时飞机在频域和时域的特征,利用模糊逻辑方法对特征参数进行辨识可以有效地识别出是否发生了PIO.模糊逻辑方法中的隶属函数直接反映了特征参数的特点,其设计决定了是否能有效地对PIO进行识别.为了设计有效的隶属函数,根据特征数据的特点采用球壳型模糊聚类算法对数据...
