“…Dempster–Shafer evidence theory [5,6], also called Dempster–Shafer (D-S) theory or evidence theory, is a popular theory to deal with uncertain information [49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56]. Having a similar effect of aggregating operators [57,58,59,60] and as the counterpart of the probability-based approaches [61,62,63], such as composite hypothesis testing, Bayesian approaches and the maximum entropy approach, D-S theory is another widely-used framework for multi-sensor information fusion [64,65,66,67,68,69,70].…”
