Evolving Receiver Operating Characteristics for Data Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been suggested that the \Maximum Realisable Receiver Operating Characteristics" for a combination of classiiers is the convex hull of their individual ROCs Scott et al., 1998]. As expected in at least some cases better ROCs can be produced. We show genetic programming (GP) can automatically produce a combination of classi-ers whose ROC is better than the convex hull of the supplied classiier's ROCs.

Feature level fusion of polarimetric infrared and GPR data for landmine detection
Feature-level sensor fusion is the process where specific information (i.e. features) from objects detected by different sensors are combined and classified. This paper focuses on the feature-level fusion procedure for a sensor combination consisting of a polarimetric infrared (IR) imaging sensor and a GPR: a video impulse radar (VIR). The single sensor detection methods and the featurelevel se...
متن کاملPredicting the Effectiveness of Naı̈ve Data Fusion on the Basis of System Characteristics
Effective automation of the information retrieval task has long been an active area of research, leading to sophisticated retrieval models. With many IR schemes available, researchers have begun to investigate the benefits of combining the results of different IR schemes to improve performance, in the process called “data fusion.” There are many successful data fusion experiments reported in IR...
متن کاملImproved Human Detection Using Image Fusion
Image fusion is fundamental to several modern day image processing applications. It is often a vital preprocessing procedure to many computer vision and image processing tasks which are dependent on the acquisition of imaging data via sensors, such as infrared and visible. One such task is that of human detection. In this paper, we present improvements to our shape and heat flow-based technique...
متن کاملDistributed Sensor Fusion Performance Analysis Under an Uncertain Environment
Distributed multi-sensor fusion has been widely used in military and civilian applications. In the statistical sensor fusion domain, the design of an optimal fusion processor usually requires the joint statistics of the local sensor outputs. When accurate joint statistical knowledge is not readily available, popular solutions are either to estimate the joint statistics from training data or to ...
