New semantics for numerical values given to possibility measures are provided. For epistemic possibilities, the new approach is based on the semantics of the transferable belief model, itself based on betting odds interpreted in a less drastic way than what subjective probabilities presupposes. It is shown that the least informative among the belief structures that are compatible with prescribe...

This paper presents a new fuzzy framework for main motion estimation in video sequences. The estimation is performed using a fuzzy representation of pixel gray levels. The motion is characterized by a set of parameters such as horizontal translation, rotation, etc. The method is based on a Hough-like vote procedure. In this scheme, the parametric space is discretized and each pixel votes for ea...

This paper proposes a general discussion of the handling of imprecise and uncertain information in temporal reasoning in the framework of fuzzy sets and possibility theory. The introduction of fuzzy features in temporal reasoning can be related to different issues. First, it can be motivated by the need of a gradual, linguistic-like description of temporal relations even in the face of complete...

This paper for the first time presents a parallel between two important theories for the treatment of information which address questions that are apparently completely different and that are studied by research communities that are fully distinct : the formal concept analysis theory on the one hand and the abstract theory of argumentation on the other hand. These two theories exploit a binary ...

W hen we work with information from mul­ tiple sources, the formalism each employs to handle uncertainty may not be uniform. In order to be able to combine these knowl­ edge bases of different formats, we need to first establish a common basis for character­ izing and evaluating the different formalisms, and provide a semantics for the combined mechanism. A common framework can pro­ vide an inf...
