Complex Evidence Theory for Multisource Data Fusion
Chinese Journal of Information Fusion | Volume 1, Issue 2: 134-159, 2024 | DOI:10.62762/CJIF.2024.999646
Abstract
Data fusion is a prevalent technique for assembling imperfect raw data coming from multiple sources to capture reliable and accurate information. Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is one of useful methodologies in the fusion of uncertain multisource information. The existing literature lacks a thorough and comprehensive review of the recent advances of Dempster– Shafer evidence theory for data fusion. Therefore, the state of the art has to be surveyed to gain insight into how Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is beneficial for data fusion and how it evolved over time. In this paper, we first provide a comprehensive review of data fusion methods based on Dempster–Shafer evidence theory an... More >

A High-Efficiency Two-Layer Path Planning Method for UAVs in Vast Airspace
Chinese Journal of Information Fusion | Volume 1, Issue 2: 109-125, 2024 | DOI:10.62762/CJIF.2024.596648
Abstract
In response to the challenges associated with the inefficiency and poor quality of 3D path planning for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operating in vast airspace, a novel two-layer path planning method is proposed based on a divide-and-conquer methodology. This method segregates the solution process into two distinct stages: heading planning and path planning, thereby ensuring the planning of both efficiency and path quality. Firstly, the path planning phase is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, taking into account the environmental constraints of the UAV mission and path safety. Subsequently, the multi-dimensional environmental data is transformed into a two-dimensional pr... More >

A Mimic Fusion Algorithm for Dual Channel Video Based on Possibility Distribution Synthesis Theory
Chinese Journal of Information Fusion | Volume 1, Issue 1: 33-49, 2024 | DOI:10.62762/CJIF.2024.361886
Abstract
In response to the current practical fusion requirements for infrared and visible videos, which often involve collaborative fusion of difference feature information, and model cannot dynamically adjust the fusion strategy according to the difference between videos, resulting in poor fusion performance, a mimic fusion algorithm for infrared and visible videos based on the possibility distribution synthesis theory is proposed. Firstly, quantitatively describe the various difference features and their attributes of the region of interest in each frame of the dual channel video sequence, and select the main difference features corresponding to each frame. Secondly, the pearson correlation coeffi... More >
