Abstract

Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is an efficient method to process uncertain, incomplete and vague information in data fusion. Aiming at the failure of conditional D-S evidence theory in dealing with conflicting evidences, an improved D-S combination rule is recommended. The proposed method utilizes the information quantity of evidence and assigns the conflict factor to every focus element based on average support degree. The simulations show that the proposed D-S combination rule can effectively solve thorny problems for conflicting evidences.
