Fusion Method for Interval Number Multi-sensor Information

The interval numbers are used to types and observation of sensors, a new fusion represent the characteristic values of object method for multi-sensor object recognition is proposed from the viewpoint of decision making theory. The method defines the distance matrix and grey association matrix between all object types and unknown object. After solving the optimization problem of maximizing the standard deviations for all attributes, the weights of the attributes are obtained. Thus, the result of recognition for the unknown object is given by the grey association degree. This method avoids the subjectivity of selecting attributes weights. It is straightforward and can be performed on computer easily. The simulated example demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
