基于联合变换相关器的Dempster-Shafer理论计算

提出了用联合变换相关器（JTC）来实现证据理论概率分配函数正交和的光学计算，在理论上对于如何用联合变像相关器实现证据理论分配函数正交和作了详细的讨论，并作了相应的仿真测试，结果显示该方法是可行的。与John Caulfield提出的用声光器件矢量外积实现的正交和计算相比，在该结构中由于采用二进制编码的数值计算，因此其计算精度得到了提高，同时对联合变换相关器输入端二进制编码的数值空间位置的适当调整可以直接得到所需要的证据理论正交和矢量，在处理步骤上得到了简化。

Application of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory to unsupervised classification in multisource remote sensing

The aim of this paper is to show that Dempster-Shafer evidence theory may be successfully applied to unsupervised classification in multisource remote sensing. Dempster-Shafer formulation allows for consideration of unions of classes, and to represent both imprecision and uncertainty, through the definition of belief and plausibility functions. These two functions, derived from mass function, are generally chosen in a supervised way. In this paper, the authors describe an unsupervised method, based on the comparison of monosource classification results, to select the classes necessary for Dempster-Shafer evidence combination and to define their mass functions. Data fusion is then performed, discarding invalid clusters (e.g. corresponding to conflicting information) thank to an iterative process. Unsupervised multisource classification algorithm is applied to MAC-Europe'91 multisensor airborne campaign data collected over the Orgeval French site. Classification results using different combinations of sensors (TMS and AirSAR) or wavelengths (L- and C-bands) are compared. Performance of data fusion is evaluated in terms of identification of land cover types. The best results are obtained when all three data sets are used. Furthermore, some other combinations of data are tried, and their ability to discriminate between the different land cover types is quantified

将网络与机器人相连,延伸网络的应用领域,可以实现价格低廉的远程监视与操作,而远程控制成功实现的关键在于信息的正确获得。利用Dempster-Shafer对六个超声波传感器所获取的距离信息进行融合,而后连同速度信息提供给弹簧-阻尼器系统以构建虚拟力;力的信息通过编程映射到游戏杆上,变成操纵方向的约束力。通过采用微软公司的带有力反馈的操纵杆作为力觉提示装置控制移动机器人在结构化环境下顺利运行,验证了虚拟力信息获取方法的有效性。
