Using Dempster-Shafer Methods for Object Classification in the Theater Ballistic Missile Environment

摘要

The Dempster-Shafer (D-S) Theory of Evidential Reasoning may be useful in handling issues associated with theater ballistic missile discrimination. This paper highlights the Dempster-Shafer theory and describes how this technique was implemented and applied to data collected by two infrared sensors on a recent flight test. Results from both classifier and feature level fusion applications are presented in this paper.
