Abstract
En 中文
Multisource information fusion is a comprehensive and interdisciplinary subject. Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory copes with uncertain information effectively. Pattern classification is the core research content of pattern recognition, and multisource information fusion based on D-S evidence theory can be effectively applied to pattern classification problems. However, in D-S evidence theory, highly-conflicting evidence may cause counterintuitive fusion results. Belief divergence theory is one of the theories that are proposed to address problems of highly-conflicting evidence. Although belief divergence can deal with conflict between evidence, none of the existing belief divergence methods has considered how to effectively measure the discrepancy between two pieces of evidence with time evolutionary. In this study, a novel fractal belief R & eacute;nyi (FBR) divergence is proposed to handle this problem. We assume that it is the first divergence that extends the concept of fractal to R & eacute;nyi divergence. The advantage is measuring the discrepancy between two pieces of evidence with time evolution, which satisfies several properties and is flexible and practical in various circumstances. Furthermore, a novel algorithm for multisource information fusion based on FBR divergence, namely FBReD-based weighted multisource information fusion, is developed. Ultimately, the proposed multisource information fusion algorithm is applied to a series of experiments for pattern classification based on real datasets, where our proposed algorithm achieved superior performance.
