On Generalized Optimal Hard Decision Fusion

چکیده
In this letter we formulate a generalized decision fusion problem (GDFP) for sensing with centralized hard decision fusion. We show that various new and existing decision fusion rules are special cases of the proposed GDFP. We then relate our problem to the classical 0 − 1 Knapsack problem (KP). Consequently, we apply dynamic programming to solve the exponentially complex GDFP in polynomial time. Numerical results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Uncertainty Measurement for Ultrasonic Sensor Fusion Using Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty Measure 1
In this paper, target differentiation based on pattern of data which are obtained by a set of two ultrasonic sensors is considered. A neural network based target classifier is applied to these data to categorize the data of each sensor. Then the results are fused together by Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) and Dezert–Smarandache theory (DSmT) to make final decision. The Generalized Aggregated Unce...
متن کاملAdaptive Decision Fusion in Detection Networks
In a detection network, the final decision is made by fusing the decisions from local detectors. The objective of that decision is to minimize the final error probability. To implement and optimal fusion rule, the performance of each detector, i.e. its probability of false alarm and its probability of missed detection as well as the a priori probabilities of the hypotheses, must be known. How...

متن کاملOptimal Decision Fusion Given Sensor Rules
Abstract—Optimal distributed fusion assuming that sensor decision rules are given is considered. A general and computationally tractable optimal fusion rule is presented, which relies only on the joint conditional probability densities of all sensor observations and all local decision rules. It is valid for general decision systems with any sensor observations and sensor decision rules, regardl...
متن کاملGeneralized Aggregate Uncertainty Measure 2 for Uncertainty Evaluation of a Dezert-Smarandache Theory based Localization Problem
In this paper, Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty measure 2 (GAU2), as a newuncertainty measure, is considered to evaluate uncertainty in a localization problem in which cameras’images are used. The theory that is applied to a hierarchical structure for a decision making to combinecameras’ images is Dezert-Smarandache theory. To evaluate decisions, an analysis of uncertainty isexecuted at every...
