Hierarchical information fusion for decision making in craniofacial superimposition

Multimodal Genetic Algorithms for Craniofacial Superimposition

Photographic supra-projection (Iscan, 1993) is a forensic process that consists of comparing photographs or video shots of a missing person with the skull that is found. By projecting both photographs on top of each other (or, even better, matching a scanned three-dimensional skull model against the face photo/video shot), the forensic anthropologist can try to establish whether that is the sam...

Information Fusion and Decision Making for Utility-based Agents

We describe a model of utility-based agents that synthesizes information and determines the best way to make decisions in multi-agent systems. In this model, the beliefs are decomposed into two levels. The higher level represents the possible information about the possible worlds. The lower level subsequently estimates a number function for the belief. We also present a decision theory for this...

Active Information Fusion For Decision Making Under Uncertainty

Many information fusion applications especially in military domains are often characterized as a high degree of complexity due to three challenges: 1) data are often acquired from sensors of di erent modalities and with di erent degrees of uncertainty; 2) decision must be made quickly; and 3) the world situation as well as sensory observations evolve over time. In this paper, we propose a dynam...

Using Accounting Information in Decision Making of Hospitals Managers

Decision making process requires information. Accounting is the most important source of information. In 1998, the international federation of accountants issued a statement about the scope and using of accounting. It identified 4 stages for using accounting information: cost determination, planning and financial control, reduction of resources waste and creation the value. This study was desig...
