Dempster-Shafer Theory: Combination of Information Using Contextual Knowledge

Authors: Mihai Cristian Florea, Eloie Bosse

The aim of this paper is to investigate how to improve the process of information combination,using the Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST). In presence of an overload of information and an unknown environment,the reliability of the sources of information or the sensors is usually unknown and thus cannot be used to refine the fusion process. In a previous paper [1], the authors have investigated different techniques to evaluate contextual knowledge from a set of mass functions (membership of a BPA to a set of BPAs, relative reliabilities of BPAs, credibility degrees, etc.). The purpose of this paper is to investigate how to use the contextual knowledge in order to improve the fusion process.
