摘要
The Dezert-Smarandache theory (DSmT) is a useful method for dealing with uncertainty problems. It is more efficient in combining conflicting evidence.Therefore,it has been successfully applied in data fusion and object recognition.However,there exist shortcomings in its combination rule.An efficient combination rule is presented,that is,the evidence's conflicting probability is distributed to every proposition based on remaining the focal elements of conflict.Experiments show that the new combination rule improves the reliability and rationality of the combination results.Although evidences conflict another one highly,good combination results are also obtained.
The Dezert-Smarandache theory （DSmT） is a useful method for dealing with uncertainty problems. It is more efficient in combining conflicting evidence. Therefore, it has been successfully applied in data fusion and object recognition. However, there exist shortcomings in its combination rule. An efficient combination rule is presented, that is, the evidence＇s conflicting probability is distributed to every proposition based on remaining the focal elements of conflict. Experiments show that the new combination rule improves the reliability and rationality of the combination results. Although evidences conflict another one highly, good combination results are also obtained.
