This paper presents a new method for multiple person multiple attribute decision making (MADM) based on decision makers' subjective preference information on alternatives and objective decision matrix. In this method, multiple decision makers give their preference information on the alternatives in different formats, and an optimization model is constructed to reflect both decision makers' subj...

The Dempster-Shafer “theory of evidence” encompasses and extends the Bayes Theorem-based decision making machinery. Dempster-Shafer’s innovation is the introduction of lower and upper bounds, designated “belief” and “plausibility”, that are attached to probability estimates. The Dempster-Shafer algebra provides for propagation of and reasoning about these quantities according to an algebra whos...

Image quality demands have been investigated for different applications of stereoscopic evaluation. For that purpose, the quality of image pairs was judged by experienced stereo operators in subjective sc ales for contrast, sharpness, granularity, interpretability and overall quality. The judgment was made in real working situations with the images oriented in stereo instruments. The result sho...
