KE Xiao-l · Dianzi xuebao · 2013
Evidence theory is widely used in decision-level information fusion.However,there are also some problems to be solved.For instance,how to measure the conflict between two bodies of evidence is still an open issue.Thus,a new method with good behaviors to measure conflict is proposed.Different bodies of evidence are described as a BPA matrix whose properties are studied afterwards.Considering the properties ofsingular values ofsuch a BPA matrix,the smaller one is chosen to measure the conflict.The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by some examples.
