Zhuang Zhao-wen · Systems engineering and electronics · 2013
The evidence theory is a useful mathematical tool for reasoning with uncertainty and has a wide range of applications in information fusion,pattern recognition,etc.How to construct a proper basic belief assignment(BBA) based on the obtained evidence information,i.e.,evidence modeling,is the premise of applying evidence theory.However,the evidence theory does not provide a universal method of evidence modeling.The existing evidence modeling methods are all application oriented.According to the Abstract level of available information,the exiting evidence modeling methods are classified into feature-based method and decision-based method and are summarized respectively.Finally,the problems in evidence modeling are disscussed and the future research directions are predicted.
