A Novel Combination Method of Conflict Evidence in Multi-Sensor Target Recognition

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel combination method is proposed in order to efficiently combine conflict evidence. The credibility of the evidence is derived by introducing a distance function, and the conflict probability is distributed to every proposition according to its credibility. Better performance is demonstrated by numerical examples compared with three other methods.
