An ECR-PCR rule for fusion of evidences defined on a non-exclusive framework of discernment

In the research of uncertain information processing, Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) provides a framework for dealing with uncertain information, where evidence is defined on a Frame of Discernment (FOD) consisting of mutually exclusive elements. However, the requirement of exclusiveness on FOD sometimes is not satisfied, as shown in Dezert-Smarandache Theory(DSmT), a derivative of DST. In DSmT, the non-exclusiveness is expressed by propositions’ intersection and the fusion of evidence is realized through a Proportional Conflict Redistribution (PCR) rule. In order to handle non-exclusive FODs, a new framework called D Number Theory (DNT) has been proposed recently, which quantifies the non-exclusive degree between propositions different from DSmT. In previous studies, an Exclusive Conflict Redistribution (ECR) rule has been designed in DNT to implement the fusion of evidence defined on a non-exclusive FOD, but there are some deficiencies in the ECR rule. In this paper, a new rule called ECR-PCR rule is proposed by combining the ECR and PCR rules to better implement the fusion of evidence defined on a non-exclusive FOD. Within the proposed rule, the definition of conflict utilizes the idea of ECR’s exclusive conflict, and the disposal of conflict is following the idea of PCR’s proportional redistribution. Properties of the ECR-PCR rule are presented. The effectiveness of the proposed new rule is verified through numerical examples and applications, in comparison with other fusion methods.     

Rational design of self-powered sensors with polymer nanocomposites for human–machine interaction

Smart sensors are becoming one of the necessities for connecting and detecting surrounding stimuli with tremendous convenience, especially when exploiting a single powerful sensor with multifunctionality. To successfully accomplish the design of a self-powered sensor, serving power is becoming a critical issue because of its continuously consumed energy required by electronics. A variety of nanogenerators aiming for the rational design of self-powered system are reviewed and compared, followed by their recent advances with polymer nanocomposites for self-powered sensors. More importantly, the proposed conceptual design of a self-powered unit/device with triboelectric nanogenerator has been emphasized to eventually realize the practical activities towards multiple detections and human–machine interaction. Finally, challenges and new prospects of rational design of self-powered polymer composite sensors in achieving human–machine interaction/interface are discussed.     

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. Evidence d...

为了提供长期有效的电子侦察能力,高机动性无人机电子侦察平台需要组成 1个多无人机电子侦察网络。多无人机电子侦察网络在面对复杂电子侦察任务时,需要具有对不同平台电子侦察结果判别和整合的能力。针对传统基于证据理论(DempsterShafer,DS)的协同电子侦察方法中,因为电磁环境的复杂性和基于 DS合成公式对不可靠信息缺少必要的筛除而导致的证据悖论问题,文章提出了基于电子侦察信息预处理的无人机集群协同电子侦察融合判决新方法。该方法对每架无人机的电子侦察信息进行预判断,得到每架无人机电子侦察信息的可信度权值,提出信息融合算法,对预处理后的电子侦察信息进行融合判决。仿真结果表明,该方法可以有效提升对多无人机电子侦察信息的甄别能力,提高无人机集群协同电子侦察性能。

Novel moderate transformation of fuzzy membership function into basic belief assignment

In information fusion, the uncertain information from different sources might be modeled with different theoretical frameworks. When one needs to fuse the uncertain information represented by different uncertainty theories, constructing the transformation between different frameworks is crucial. Various transformations of a Fuzzy Membership Function (FMF) into a Basic Belief Assignment (BBA) have been proposed, where the transformations based on uncertainty maximization and minimization can determine the BBA without preselecting the focal elements. However, these two transformations that based on uncertainty optimization emphasize the extreme cases of uncertainty. To avoid extreme attitudinal bias, a trade-off or moderate BBA with the uncertainty degree between the minimal and maximal ones is more preferred. In this paper, two moderate transformations of an FMF into a trade-off BBA are proposed. One is the weighted average based transformation and the other is the optimization-based transformation with weighting mechanism, where the weighting factor can be user-specified or determined with some prior information. The rationality and effectiveness of our transformations are verified through numerical examples and classification examples.
