Multisensor Data Fusion in Testability Evaluation of Equipment

Abstract

The multisensor data fusion method has been extensively utilized in many practical applications involving testability evaluation. Due to the flexibility and effectiveness of Dempster–Shafer evidence theory in modeling and processing uncertain information, this theory has been widely used in various fields of multisensor data fusion method. However, it may lead to wrong results when fusing conflicting multisensor data. In order to deal with this problem, a testability evaluation method of equipment based on multisensor data fusion method is proposed. First, a novel multisensor data fusion method, based on the improvement of Dempster–Shafer evidence theory via the Lance distance and the belief entropy, is proposed. Next, based on the analysis of testability multisensor data, such as testability virtual test data, testability test data of replaceable unit, and testability growth test data, the corresponding prior distribution conversion schemes of testability multisensor data are formulated according to their different characteristics. Finally, the testability evaluation method of equipment based on the multisensor data fusion method is proposed. The result of experiment illustrated that the proposed method is feasible and effective in handling the conflicting evidence; besides, the accuracy of fusion of the proposed method is higher and the result of evaluation is more reliable than other testability evaluation methods, which shows that the basic probability assignment of the true target is 94.71%.

A review of components of reliability for the evaluation of Programmable logic controller

“…To address testability at the design stage of the software development life cycle, Khanum & Tripathi (2015) [5] created a model. Di et al (2020) [6] suggest a method for evaluating the testability of equipment based on multisensory data fusion. Yang et al (2018) [7] investigated the benefits, drawbacks, and conditions that apply to the current experimental systems.…”

Application of Virtual Reality Based on Multisensor Data Fusion in Theater Space and Installation Art

“…In order to meet this visual requirement, this paper studies how to build a three-dimensional multi-view digital art gallery in combination with artistic characteristics, hoping that users can walk freely in the virtual reality environment and watch all corners of the art gallery in 720 ° [18]. Adopt a variety of routes to view the exhibition: "Dot Art" Digital Art Museum does not realize the preset roaming route in the exhibition form but determines the order and direction of the exhibition by the user's own choice and selects the traveling route by controlling the visual angle with the mouse and the direction with the keyboard so that the user can choose the visiting route more independently [19].…”

Broad Learning System for Tackling Emerging Challenges in Face Recognition

“…It is emergent to find a method for generating new datasets for tackling this challenge. Multi-sensor information fusion [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] analyzes and processes the multi-source information collected by sensors and combines them. The combination of multi-source information can be automatically or semi-automatically carried out [51][52][53][54].…”
