We show how qualitativ...

Electronic Support Measures consist of passive receivers which can identify emitters coming from a small bearing angle, which, in turn, can be related to platforms that belong to 3 classes: either Friend, Neutral, or Hostile. Decision makers prefer results presented in STANAG 1241 allegiance form, which adds 2 new classes: Assumed Friend, and Suspect. Dezert-Smarandache theory (DSmT) is particu...

The Dezert Smarandache Theory (DSmT) used for the fusion and the modeling of the classes sets of themes has shown its performances in the detection and the cartography of the changes. Moreover the contextual classification with the research for the optimal solution by an ICM (Iterated conditional mode) algorithm with constraints allows to take in account the parcellary aspect of the thematic cl...

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 ...

This chapter presents an approach for target behavior tendency estimation (Receding, Approaching). It is developed on the principles of DezertSmarandache theory (DSmT) of plausible and paradoxical reasoning applied to conventional sonar amplitude measurements, which serve as an evidence for corresponding decision-making procedures. In some real world situations it is difficult to finalize these...
