Multi-Sensor Target Recognition Using VIKOR Combined with G1 Method

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to propose a new multi-sensor target recognition method based on VIKOR method. Multi-sensor target recognition is an important part of information fusion. The multi-sensor target recognition problem contains many factors, and thus it is actually a multi-attribute decision problem. The new multi-sensor target recognition method combines the VIKOR method with G1 method. G1 method is an objectively determining weights method, and it does not need to test the consistency of judgment matrix, thus it is better than AHP. A practical example is studied to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
