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.

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.     

Timeliness optimization of unmanned aerial vehicle lossy communications for internet-of-things

Information freshness is a key factor for Internet-of-Things(Io T) to make appropriate decisions and operations. This paper proposes an analytical framework for evaluating the timeliness performance of the Io T system based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) lossy communications.The performance analysis consists of the outage probability analysis and the Age-of-Information(Ao I) analysis with outages. To begin with, we solve a lossy coding problem formulated from the UAV communication system, and d...     

A multi-satellite co-tracking method for a single space target based on adaptive distributed spherical simplex information-weighted consensus filter

A multi-satellite co-tracking method for a single non-cooperative target is proposed to extend the arc of observation as well as to improve the accuracy of tracking. Firstly, the motion of the target is considered to be affected by J2 perturbation, and the model of multi-satellite co-tracking a single space target is designed with only measured angles. Then, a multi-satellite co-tracking method for a single space target based on an adaptive distributed spherical simplex information-weighted consensus filter (ADSSICF) is proposed. The spherical simplex is used to reduce the computational cost of the information filter, and to improve the efficiency of tracking. The angle-only measurement equation is linearized by the statistical linear regression method, and linearization errors are compensated for by updating measurement noise. By designing an adaptive consensus algorithm, only a small number of iterations are needed to achieve network consensus, to improve the convergence speed of the consensus algorithm, and prove the stability of ADSSICF. Finally, a simulation of four low-orbit satellites tracking a single space target is established. The focus of this paper is on the real-time performance and tracking accuracy of the multi-satellite co-tracking a single space target with angle-only based on ADSSICF. The performance of ADSSICF is verified from three indicators: the consensus and convergence of algorithm, the accuracy of state estimation.
