Dempster-Shafer theory and Bayesian reasoning in multisensor data fusion

摘要

Abstract: Bayesian and Dempster-Shafer Theory based methods are among the alternative algorithmic approaches to multisensor data fusion. The two approaches differ significantly and the extent of their applicability to data fusion is still being debated. This paper presents a Monte Carlo simulation approach for a comparative analysis of a Dempster-Shafer Theory based on a Bayesian multisensor data fusion in the classification task domain, including the implementation of both formalisms, and the results of the Monte Carlo experiments of this analysis.!7
