Abstract

Abstract:

To solve the combination problem of conflict evidence in information fusion, a combination approach of conflict evidence based on proportional belief assignment criterion is presented. Firstly, the drawbacks of original Dempster’s rule of combination as well as several alternative combination approaches proposed so far are analyzed. Secondly, a new mass function based on proportional belief assignment criterion is combined. Finally, the results of numerical examples show that the new combination method can efficiently solve the Zadeh counterintuitive contradiction, the loss of majority opinion, robustness and the fairness of original and improved Dempster’s rules of combination.

Key words: evidence theory, Dempster rule of combination, belief assignment criterion, information fusion
