A comparative study of four fuzzy integrals for classifier fusion
Huimin Feng, Xuefei Li, Junfen Chen · 2010
Fuzzy Integral is widely accepted and applied in multi-classifier fusion to express the importance of individual classifiers and the interaction among classifiers. In this fusion model, there are two keys to determine. One is determining the fuzzy measure. Many researchers have done much work and proposed many types of fuzzy measure and methods to determine fuzzy measures. Another is selecting from four types of fuzzy integral: Sugeno integral, Choquet integral, upper integral and lower integral. Usually, the type of fuzzy integral is specified in advance. Choquet integral is often the choice. This paper is to compare comprehensively four fuzzy integrals in multiple-classifier fusion and hope to give the foundation for selecting Choquet integral. According the theoretical and experimental analysis, it gives the conclusion that Choquet integral is the best suitable for classifier fusion.
