摘要
To eliminate potential evidence conflicts, an effective and accurate DS combination method is addressed in this paper. DS evidence theory is an outstanding information fusion approach with valid uncertainty treatment. Nevertheless, there are some limitations of the usage of the DS evidence theory. On the one hand, due to the complexity of a combat measurement environment and the inconsistency of sensor capabilities, sensor sources have enormous uncertainty, which would inevitably cause conflicts for evidence combination. On the other hand, DS combination rule realizes the unity property of fusing results with a compulsive normalization, which unavoidably leads to conflicting situations. To solve the possible evidence conflicts in a multisensor fusion system, we raise a robust DS combination method based on evidence correction and conflict redistribution. Firstly, two corrected indexes-the reliability index and consistency index-are separately addressed with the introduction of the Matusita distance function and closeness degree function. After the evidence modification based on two correction indexes, the conflicts caused by unreliable sensor sources are solved. Then, based on the corrected evidences, we put forward a weighted assignment of conflicting mass where the weight index lies on the evidence credibility. As the normalization step is abolished, the conflict redistribution strategy avoids the conflicts caused by straightforward normalization. Through comprehensive conflict management, the proposed DS combination method can not only guarantee the rationality and availability of fusing results, but also enhance the reliability and robustness of a multisensor system. Finally, three combination experiments with different conflicting degrees illustrate the advantage and superiority of the novel combination method for conflict management. Consequently, the innovation of the novel algorithm is verified.
