The D-S reasoning has evidently predominance in presentation, resolution and combination for uncertainty information problems, which makes it can be effectively applied in multi-sensor data fusion. However, the Dempster combination rule doesn't take proper measures to address the reliability, conflict and importance aspects of measuring the source-evidence itself, this weakness may result in the existence contrary to intuition in reasoning process. A synthesis rule, especially the conflict problems produced by the data fusion involved in the D-S reasoning synthesis rule based on the basic ones has been analyzed in this paper. Also, a improved synthesis formula of D-S has been put forward according to the conception of evidence information and the focal element generated by itself, and it is applied in the multi-sensor information fusion technology, As indicated by the simulation results that the method proposed is a feasible, effective solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
