Jinyuan Yang, Xinhan Huang, Min Wang · 2009
In multi-sources information fusion, because of the diversity of evidences, especially the imperfect evidences, it's difficult to get a satisfied result. To avoid and reduce the influence of the mistaken or conflicting information on the final precision of fusion, a pre-processor of evidence sources is proposed and proved. A MES (measurement of evidence support) pre-processor is designed. Firstly, the reliability of every evidence source is analyzed from itself generalized basic belief assignment (gbba) to identify the centre of the whole evidence sources. Then the distance measurement between every evidences and the centre evidence is confirmed according to the relation support. The identification algorithm of computing reliability is also presented. The evidence source with larger distance won't be sent into the fusion to achieve the faster and more precise information result. Finally we apply the new tool coupling with the fusion rule based on Dezert and Smarandache Theroy (DSmT) to P2DX robot perception. Experiment results show the effectiveness and robustness of this method.
