Abstract:

Evidence theory has unique advantages in the expression and processing of uncertain information, and evidence independence is the premise of the application of many combination methods, but there is no completely effective judgment method at present. To solve this problem, firstly, the connotation of evidence combination and the interpretation of evidence to the recognition framework are studied. Then, starting from the definition of Smets evidence independence, this paper analyzes the independence problem in Dempster combination rules, and puts forward a judgment method of evidence independence for the case of small samples or no samples. Finally, aiming at the problem of multi-sensor single target recognition, the influence of evidence independence on the combination results is studied.

Key words: information fusion, target recognition, evidence theory, evidence independence, relevant evidence
