Improved information fusion approach based on D-S evidence theory

摘要

Conventional D-S evidence theory has an unavoidable disadvantage in that it will give counter-intuitive result when fusing high conflict information. This paper proposes an improved method to solve this problem. By reassigning weight factors before fusing, the method can give reasonable results especially when the initial weight factors of conflict evidences are almost equal. It gives an adjustable factor to adjust the reassigning force. An example is given to illustrate these advantages.
