We show how qualitativ...

An approach providing fast reduction of the full ignorance in the target identification process is proposed. It uses the new Dezert-Smarandache theory (DSmT) for plausible and paradoxical reasoning, combined with fuzzy set theory. The approach utilizes the information from the adjoint sensor and the additional information obtained from a priori defined objective and subjective considerations. A...

This paper presents in detail the generalized pignistic transformation (GPT) succinctly developed in the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) framework as a tool for decision process. The GPT allows to provide a subjective probability measure from any generalized basic belief assignment given by any corpus of evidence. We mainly focus our presentation on the 3D case and provide the complete result ...

In this paper, we present an extension of the multi-criteria decision making based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which incorporates uncertain knowledge matrices for generating basic belief assignments (bba’s). The combination of priority vectors corresponding to bba’s related to each (sub)-criterion is performed using the Proportional Conflict Redistribution rule no. 5 proposed in Dez...

Today due to the importance and necessity of implementing security systems in homes and other buildings, systems with higher certainty, lower cost and with sensor fusion methods are more attractive, as an applicable and high performance methods for the researchers. In this paper, the application of Dempster-Shafer evidential theory and also the newer, more general one Dezert-Smarandache theory ...

In this paper, we propose an efficient and robust multiple target tracking method based on particles filtering and Dezert-Smarandache theory. A model of cue combination is designed with plausible and paradoxical reasoning. The proposed model can resolve the conflict and paradoxes that arise between measured cues due to the partial or total occlusion. Experimental results demonstrate the efficie...

This paper introduces the recent theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning, known as DSmT (Dezert-Smarandache Theory) in the literature, which deals with imprecise, uncertain and potentially highly conflicting sources of information. Recent publications have shown the interest and the potential ability of DSmT to solve fusion problems where Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) provides counter-intu...
