Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of information fusion technology, and in particular to an information fusion method and system based on DS evidence theory. BACKGROUND

[0002] Dempster-Shafer (DS) evidence theory is the main theoretical method for fusion processing at present, and mainly faces two technical key problems: one is how to effectively establish DS recognition evidence, that is, how to calculate the belief function of the DS recognition framework subset; and the other is how to effectively solve the evidence conflict problem in DS recognition evidence fusion.

[0003] For the first type of technical key point, the problem is where the evidence comes from when applying DS evidence theory. At present, the main method for establishing DS recognition evidence is that experts generate a basic belief assignment on the recognition framework according to their own knowledge and experience. After obtaining multiple belief assignments, the belief functions are synthesized according to the DS evidence combination rule to obtain the decision result. However, the method based on experts is limited by the limitations of the knowledge and experience of experts, and the DS evidence belief function evaluation method established by experts in a certain field is not applicable to other fields, and lacks generality.

[0004] For the second type of technical key point, a series of improvement methods have been formed for the three elements of the recognition framework, the recognition evidence belief function and the combination rule of the DS evidence fusion theory, but the main problems include that the existing DS conflict evidence screening method mainly measures the evidence fusion weight from the distance measurement between single-period evidences, does not fully consider the consistency of time series, and the conflict fusion mechanism only starts from the weight correction, does not consider the reliability of the sensor itself where the recognition evidence comes from, and is easy to lead to invalid fusion results; at the same time, the fusion of historical recognition evidence only starts from the improvement research on the combination method of the mathematical combination rule between evidences, does not consider the logical compatibility or conflict between various types of evidence to utilize the fusion of multi-period discrete evidence, and is easy to lead to unreasonable fusion results.

[0005] The existing DS evidence theory fusion technology lacks the ability to objectively measure the uncertainty of recognition evidence and effectively quantify it, and converts sensor information into DS recognition evidence propositions;

[0006] The existing DS evidence theory fusion technology measures the evidence fusion weight from the distance measurement between single-period evidences, does not fully consider the consistency of time series, and the conflict fusion mechanism only starts from the weight correction, does not consider the reliability of the sensor itself where the recognition evidence comes from;

[0007] The existing DS evidence theory fusion technology only improves the combination mode from the mathematical combination rule between evidences, and does not consider the logical compatibility or conflict between various evidences to utilize the fusion of multi-period discrete evidences. SUMMARY

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an information fusion method capable of objectively measuring the uncertainty of identification evidence and effectively solving the conflict of identification evidence, and improve the correctness and reliability of identification.

[0009] The present application is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0010] The present application provides an information fusion method based on DS evidence theory, comprising:

[0011] Obtaining DS identification evidence and measuring uncertainty, wherein the DS identification evidence comprises identification evidence of an encrypted cooperative sensor, identification evidence of a non-cooperative sensor and identification evidence based on target position information;

[0012] The DS identification evidence is subjected to belief reassignment and screening: the identity attribute of the DS identification evidence is subjected to multiplicative weighting in combination with the identification stability of the sensor; and in the case of conflict of the DS identification evidence, the identity attribute after multiplicative weighting is subjected to conflict processing, and a corresponding fusion method is dynamically selected to complete conflict information fusion;

[0013] The DS identification evidence is subjected to historical identification evidence combination based on the compatibility and exclusivity of the DS identification evidence, and finally outputs an identity attribute identification decision.

[0014] The working principle of the present application is that the present application provides an information fusion method and system based on DS evidence theory, which realizes the unified quantization of heterogeneous information of multiple sensors through a series of improvements on the existing DS evidence theory fusion method, guarantees the effective perception of the uncertainty or error of multiple identification processes, guarantees the objectivity and correctness of the identification evidence measurement, effectively solves the conflict fusion problem of the independence and compatibility of different conflict intensity evidence fusion and identification evidence, and improves the effectiveness and correctness of the fusion result.

[0015] Further, the acquisition method of the identification evidence of the encrypted cooperative sensor comprises:

[0016] generating the identification evidence of the encryption collaborative sensor according to whether the encryption collaborative sensor obtains the valid identification result;

[0017] The collaborative sensor makes the attribute of the target be directly judged through the information interaction with the target by means of the time correction, signal format, encryption mode and the like agreed by both parties. The identification evidence generation process of the collaborative sensor is expressed by the production rule of "if…then…", that is, if the encryption collaborative sensor obtains the valid identification result, the current target identification evidence of the encryption collaborative sensor is directly generated. The uncertainty measure of the evidence is calculated based on the probability estimation method, and the single identification confidence is estimated by using the global parameter of the identification probability.

[0018] The identification system makes a decision or classification according to the target information S, and the possible result set of the decision or classification is Ω′2={ω0,ω1,...,ω M-1}; and D j is the real identity of the target.

[0019] The uncertainty measure of the identification evidence of the encryption collaborative sensor is the confidence expression C(k) of the decision result ω i (i=0,1,...,M-1) of the identification system under the input of the target information S.

[0020] C(k)=E(P(D j =ω i ))=E(P(ω i |D j )),(i,j=0,1,...,M-1); wherein D j is the actual identity attribute set of the target, and the number of the set members is M; ω i is the decision target identity attribute; P(ω i |D j ) represents the conditional probability that the target with the attribute D j is decided to have the attribute ω i ; and P(D j =ω i ) represents the probability that the identification decision is correct.

[0021] A further optimization scheme is that the identification evidence of the non-collaborative sensor is obtained by the following method:

[0022] The basic information of the non-collaborative sensor is obtained based on the target radiation source, and the basic information includes the target type and model. The mapping relationship is constructed based on the basic information to obtain the identification evidence of the non-collaborative sensor.

[0023] The identification evidence uncertainty measure of the non-cooperative sensor is a target identification confidence report of the sensor.

[0024] The target friend-or-foe attribute identification evidence is obtained based on the mapping relationship of the model-nation-attribute of friend or foe according to the target type / model information provided by the non-cooperative sensor.

[0025] The further optimization scheme is that the identification evidence based on the target position information is obtained by the following method:

[0026] The fuzzy membership functions of the yaw, the heading and the height of the target are respectively established by decomposing the elements of the navigation plan to describe the degree of the legality of the target position; the target attribute direction matching the navigation plan is given as the identification evidence based on the target position information by the legality threshold;

[0027] The target attribute direction uncertainty is calculated according to the fuzzy membership degree.

[0028] The further optimization scheme is that the identification evidence based on the target position information is obtained by the following method:

[0029] The distance d is the yaw distance, the yaw membership μ d is:

[0030]

[0031] Wherein, ε1 is the yaw distance defined by the navigation plan, and ε2 is the maximum yaw distance.

[0032] The heading membership μ c is:

[0033]

[0034] Wherein, θ i is the current heading of the target, and θ n is the defined heading of the navigation plan.

[0035] The height membership μ h is:

[0036]

[0037] Wherein, h is the height of the target, h' is the defined height of the navigation plan, and h ε is the maximum height deviation defined by the navigation plan.

[0038] The average membership reflecting the current legality of the target is obtained by the comprehensive calculation based on the yaw membership, the heading membership and the height membership, the legality evaluation of the current target navigation is obtained based on the average of the multiple time series memberships, and finally the threshold decision is made to form the attribute direction judgment supporting the behavior situation layer information:

[0039]

[0040] wherein μ t is the membership of the target position at time t to the compliance of the navigation plan, μ is the average membership of N times μ t , and σ is the legality threshold;

[0041] When the average membership μ exceeds the legality threshold σ, the identification evidence of the target position information points to {I} or {C} according to the target attribute of the current navigation plan;

[0042] When the average membership μ does not exceed the legality threshold σ, the identification evidence of the target position information points to {S}.

[0043] Further optimization scheme is that the DS identification evidence credibility reassignment method comprises:

[0044] The consistency of the DS identification evidence pointing is calculated from the time sequence, and the consistency evaluation result C L is taken as a multiplicative weighting parameter to adjust the uncertainty quantization result m(·) of the DS identification evidence;

[0045] When the identification result of a sensor to a target is stable, the credibility of the sensor is higher; and when the consistency of the identification result of a sensor to a target in each identification cycle is poor, the credibility of the sensor is lower.

[0046] The target identification confidence reports of the sensor in several identification cycles are R1, R2, …, R L , the number of elements of the identification framework is S, and then the sensor consistency C N of N identification cycles is:

[0047]

[0048] wherein C k,k+1 is the sensor identification consistency of adjacent two cycles, C T is an intermediate result of the sensor consistency calculation, and C N is the final result after normalization calculation based on C T .

[0049] Further optimization scheme is that the DS identification evidence screening method comprises:

[0050] The pointing consistency of the DS identification evidence is judged;

[0051] The DS identification evidence with the pointing consistency is measured: the DS identification evidence with the pointing consistency is processed in parallel; the DS identification evidence with the pointing inconsistency is processed in layers.

[0052] The layer fusion processing includes the following method: the identification evidence of the non-cooperative sensor is combined with the identification evidence based on the target position information, and the target attribute is judged, and then the target attribute judgment result is combined with the identification evidence of the encrypted cooperative sensor.

[0053] Further optimization scheme is that the pointing consistency judgment method between the DS identification evidence includes:

[0054] The two DS identification evidences E1 and E2 of the identification framework Θ correspond to the basic trust allocation functions m1 and m2, and the supported attribute pointing is A i and B j Whether the pointing of the two DS identification evidences is consistent is determined by the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] If the intersection of the subset A and the subset B is empty, the pointing of the two DS identification evidences is inconsistent; otherwise, the pointing of the two DS identification evidences is consistent, wherein m(*) represents the evidence quality of the subset (*).

[0057] In the case of pointing inconsistency, the pointing consistency is measured by G c (E1, E2).

[0058]

[0059] Wherein, Con(E1, E2) describes the conflict between the evidences, and H(E1, E2) describes the consistency between the identification evidences. The pointing consistency G c (E1, E2) is described by the proportion of the conflict confidence between the two identification evidences.

[0060] Suppose that σ is the conflict intensity judgment threshold, when G c (E1, E2) > σ, it indicates that the pointing consistency is not up to standard, and when the conflict intensity G c (E1, E2) ≤ σ, it indicates that the pointing consistency is up to standard.

[0061] In the case of pointing consistency up to standard, the two-by-two identification evidence combination processing is performed according to the processing criteria of the DS evidence theory. Assuming that the N-1th evidence quality is m1, and the Nth evidence quality is m2, then the combination calculation is performed in the following formula.

[0062]

[0063] Before all DS identification evidence participation combination is completed, the processing result of the above two two combinations does not carry out attribute pointing decision based on the highest confidence component, assuming that the highest confidence result of the identification evidence combination is D1, the pointing is Z1, the second highest confidence result is D2, and the pointing is Z2, then the fusion identification evidence participating in the next round of two two combinations is

[0064] In the case of not meeting the pointing consistency, first, the identification evidence of the non-collaborative sensor is combined with the identification evidence based on the target position information, the combination calculation method is consistent with the above combination method, but the decision processing is carried out, that is, according to the above assumption, given σ1, σ2 are two decision thresholds, the decision criterion is: if D1> σ1 and |D1-D2|> σ2, then the identification result is the highest confidence result; Otherwise, identify as unknown. The obtained target attribute decision result is combined with the encrypted collaborative identification evidence, and the combination method is consistent with the above combination method.

[0065] A further optimization scheme is that the historical identification evidence combination method comprises:

[0066] S1, first determine whether the DS identification evidence is independent, if yes, then change the attribute pointing of the DS identification evidence according to the consistency and exclusivity of the DS identification evidence, so that the DS identification evidence conflicts, and then enter step S3; Otherwise, determine whether the joint of the current DS identification evidence and the cache evidence is independent, if yes, then enter S3; Otherwise, enter S2;

[0067] S2, cache the current non-independent evidence, and change the attribute pointing of the DS identification evidence to unknown, and then enter S3;

[0068] S3, combine the current decision result with the historical identification result.

[0069] The independence of the evidence refers to that the identity attribute decision conclusion of the target can be formed only by relying on a certain identification evidence, and on the contrary, certain evidence needs the joint processing of other identification evidence to form a decision conclusion, and a single evidence cannot form an effective conclusion for identification; The consistency and exclusivity of the evidence refers to the conflict between multiple identification evidences in the fusion processing. Two identification evidences are not conflict is called consistent, and conflict is called exclusive. The independent consistency classification of the evidence can be referred to Table 1.

[0070] The present scheme also provides a DS evidence theory-based information fusion system for realizing the above DS evidence theory-based information fusion method, comprising:

[0071] The collection module is used for acquiring DS identification evidence, and the DS identification evidence includes identification evidence of an encryption cooperative sensor, identification evidence of a non-cooperative sensor and identification evidence based on target position information.

[0072] The distribution screening module is used for re-distribution and screening of the credibility of the DS identification evidence: consistency of pointing of the DS identification evidence is calculated from a time sequence, the DS identification evidence meeting the consistency of pointing is processed in parallel fusion, and the DS identification evidence not meeting the consistency of pointing is processed in hierarchical fusion.

[0073] The fusion module is used for historical identification result fusion based on the logical consistency and exclusivity of the DS identification evidence.

[0074] Compared with the prior art, the DS evidence theory-based information fusion method and system has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0075] The DS evidence theory-based information fusion method and system provided by the application realizes unified quantization of heterogeneous information of multiple sensors through a series of improvements on the existing DS evidence theory fusion method, guarantees effective perception of multiple process uncertainties or errors, guarantees objectivity and correctness of identification evidence measurement, effectively solves the conflict fusion problems of different conflict strength evidence fusion and identification evidence existence independence and consistency and exclusivity, and improves effectiveness and correctness of fusion results.

For this kind of problem, how to judge the source of conflict identification evidence, and solve the conflict caused by information interpretation, is the key technical problem to be solved by the present application; the following embodiments solve the above technical problems:

[0084] Embodiment 1

[0085] The embodiment provides an information fusion method based on DS evidence theory, as shown in Figure 1 , comprising:

[0086] Obtaining DS identification evidence and measuring uncertainty, the DS identification evidence includes: identification evidence of encrypted cooperative sensor, identification evidence of non-cooperative sensor and identification evidence based on target position information;

[0087] The DS identification evidence is subjected to belief reassignment and screening: the identity attribute of the DS identification evidence is subjected to multiplicative weighting in combination with the identification stability of the sensor; and in the case of DS identification evidence conflict, the identity attribute after multiplicative weighting is subjected to conflict processing, and then the corresponding fusion method is dynamically selected to complete conflict information fusion;

[0088] Based on the compatibility and exclusivity of the DS identification evidence, the DS identification evidence is subjected to historical identification evidence combination, and finally the identity attribute identification decision is output.

[0089] As shown in Figure 2As shown, it gives the overall information fusion processing flow of the application, and the main flow includes three steps of DS identification evidence acquisition, identification evidence credibility reassignment and screening, and evidence combination. The DS identification evidence acquisition converts the identification information of different sensors, and quantifies the identification evidence about the identity attribute of the target; the credibility assignment and screening of the DS identification evidence is a weighted processing of the evidence, which is combined with the sensor identification stability evaluation to multiply the initial judgment conclusion of the identity attribute, reflects the uncertainty of the sensor information acquisition stage and the information correlation stage, and in the case of identification evidence conflict, the weighted initial judgment conclusion of the identity attribute is processed, according to the different inconsistency strength of the weighted identification evidence, a corresponding fusion structure is dynamically selected to complete the conflict information fusion; the evidence combination uses the discrete identification evidence on the multi-time sequence, based on the compatibility or mutual exclusivity between the discrete identification evidence, completes the fusion processing combined with the historical identification result, and outputs the final identity attribute judgment result of this processing.

[0090] The acquisition method of the identification evidence of the encrypted collaborative sensor includes:

[0091] According to whether the encrypted collaborative sensor obtains an effective identification result, the identification evidence of the encrypted collaborative sensor is generated;

[0092] Such collaborative sensors can directly determine the attribute through information interaction with the target by jointly agreeing on time correction, signal format, encryption method and other measures by the two parties.

[0093] The identification evidence generation process of such sensors is expressed by the production rule of "if…then…", that is, if the encrypted collaborative sensor obtains an effective identification result, the current target identification evidence of {I} is directly generated. The uncertainty measure of the evidence is calculated based on the probability estimation method, and the single identification confidence is estimated by using the global parameter of identification probability.

[0094] The identification system makes a decision or classification according to the target information S, and the possible result set of the decision or classification is D j is the true identity of the target;

[0095] The uncertainty measure of the identification evidence of the encrypted collaborative sensor is that the decision result is ω i (i=0,1,…,M-1) under the input target information S of the identification system, and the confidence expression C(k) of ω

[0096] C(k)=E(P(D j =ω i ))=E(P(ω i |D j), (i, j = 0, 1, …, M-1); wherein, D j is the actual identity attribute set of the target, and the number of set members is M; ω i is the target identity attribute to be determined; P(D i | ω j ) represents the conditional probability that the target with attribute D j is determined to have attribute ω i ; and P(D j = ω i ) represents the probability of correct identification.

[0097] The identification evidence of the non-cooperative sensor, and the acquisition method thereof comprises:

[0098] Based on the basic information of the non-cooperative sensor identified by the target radiation source, the basic information comprises the target type and model, and a mapping relationship is constructed based on the basic information to obtain the identification evidence of the non-cooperative sensor;

[0099] The uncertainty measurement of the identification evidence of the non-cooperative sensor is the target identification confidence report of the sensor.

[0100] The target type / model information given by the non-cooperative sensor is used to obtain the identification evidence of the enemy attribute of the target based on the mapping relationship of the model-nationality-enemy attribute.

[0101] The identification evidence based on the target position information, and the acquisition method thereof comprises:

[0102] By decomposing the elements of the navigation plan, the fuzzy membership functions of the yaw, heading and altitude of the target are respectively established to describe the degree of legitimacy of the target position; the target attribute direction matched with the navigation plan is given as the identification evidence based on the target position information through the legitimacy threshold;

[0103] The uncertainty of the target attribute direction is calculated according to the fuzzy membership degree.

[0104] The identification evidence based on the target position information, and the acquisition method thereof comprises:

[0105] The distance d is the yaw distance, and the yaw membership degree μ d is:

[0106]

[0107] Wherein, ε1 is the yaw distance defined by the navigation plan, and ε2 is the maximum yaw distance.

[0108] The heading membership degree μ c is:

[0109]

[0110] where θ i is the target current heading, θ n is the prescribed heading of the navigation plan;

[0111] height membership μ h is:

[0112]

[0113] where h is the target height, h' is the navigation plan limited height, h ε is the maximum height deviation limited by the navigation plan;

[0114] Based on the yaw membership, the heading membership and the height membership, the average membership reflecting the current legality of the target is calculated, and the legality evaluation of the current target navigation is obtained based on the average of multiple time series memberships. Finally, the threshold decision is made to form the attribute direction judgment of the support behavior situation layer information:

[0115]

[0116] where μ t is the membership of the target position at time t relative to the compliance of the navigation plan, μ is the average membership of N time μ t , and σ is the legality threshold;

[0117] When the average membership μ exceeds the legality threshold σ, the identification evidence of the target position information is directed to {I} or {civilian} according to the target attribute of the current navigation plan;

[0118] When the average membership μ does not exceed the legality threshold σ, the identification evidence of the target position information is directed to {suspected enemy}.

[0119] The belief reassignment method of the DS identification evidence includes:

[0120] The consistency of the DS identification evidence direction is calculated from the time series, and the consistency evaluation result C L is taken as a multiplicative weighting parameter to adjust the uncertainty quantization result m(·) of the DS identification evidence;

[0121] When the identification result of a sensor for a target is stable, the credibility of the sensor is higher; when the consistency of the identification result of a sensor for a target in each identification cycle is poor, the credibility of the sensor is lower.

[0122] The target identification confidence reports obtained by the sensor in several identification cycles are R1, R2, …, R L , the number of elements of the identification framework is S, and the sensor consistency C N of N identification cycles is:

[0123]

[0124] wherein C k,k+1 is the consistency of adjacent two periods of sensor identification, C T is the intermediate result of sensor consistency calculation, C N is the final result after normalization calculation based on C T .

[0125] The screening method of DS identification evidence includes:

[0126] Judging the pointing consistency between DS identification evidences;

[0127] For DS identification evidences with pointing consistency, performing pointing consistency measurement: parallel fusion processing of DS identification evidences with pointing consistency up to standard; hierarchical fusion processing of DS identification evidences with pointing consistency not up to standard;

[0128] The hierarchical fusion processing includes the method: first, combining the identification evidence of non-collaborative sensor with the identification evidence based on target position information, and performing target attribute judgment, and then combining the target attribute judgment result with the identification evidence of encrypted collaborative sensor.

[0129] The pointing consistency judgment method between DS identification evidences includes:

[0130] Two DS identification evidences E1 and E2 of the identification framework Θ, the corresponding basic trust allocation functions are m1 and m2, and the supported attribute pointing is A i and B j , then whether the pointing between the two DS identification evidences is consistent is determined by the following formula:

[0131]

[0132] If the intersection of the subset A and the subset B is empty, the pointing of the two DS identification evidences is inconsistent; otherwise, the pointing of the two DS identification evidences is consistent, wherein m(*) represents the evidence quality of the subset (*).

[0133] In the case of pointing inconsistency, the pointing consistency G c (E1, E2) is measured by G

[0134]

[0135] wherein Con(E1, E2) describes the conflict amount between the evidences, and H(E1, E2) describes the consistency amount between the identification evidences. The pointing consistency G c (E1, E2) is described by the proportion of the conflict belief part between the two identification evidences.

[0136] Assume that σ is the conflict intensity judgment threshold, when G c (E1, E2) > σ indicates that the pointing consistency is not up to standard, when the conflict intensity G c (E1, E2) ≤ σ indicates that the pointing consistency is up to standard.

[0137] In the case of pointing consistency up to standard, the two- two identification evidence combination processing is carried out according to the processing criterion of DS evidence theory. Assuming that the quality of the N-1th evidence is m1, and the quality of the Nth evidence is m2, then the combination calculation is carried out in the following formula manner:

[0138]

[0139] Before all the DS identification evidences are combined, the processing result of the above two- two combination does not carry out the attribute pointing judgment based on the highest confidence component, assuming that the highest confidence result of the identification evidence combination is D1, the pointing is Z1, the second highest confidence result is D2, and the pointing is Z2, then the fusion identification evidence participating in the next round of two- two combination is:

[0140]

[0141] Wherein, wherein, represents the representation of the last round of fusion evidence m(X) and m(Y) according to the DS evidence combination calculation method.

[0142] The processing flow is as shown in Figure 3 .

[0143] In the case of pointing consistency not up to standard, first, the identification evidence of the non- cooperative sensor is combined with the identification evidence based on the target position information, and the combination calculation method is consistent with the above combination method, but the judgment processing is carried out, that is, according to the above assumption, σ1 and σ2 are given as two judgment thresholds, and the judgment criterion is: if D1 > σ1 and |D1-D2| > σ2, then the identification result is the highest confidence result; Otherwise, identify as unknown. The obtained target attribute judgment result is combined with the encrypted cooperative identification evidence, and the combination method is consistent with the above combination method, and the processing flow is as shown in Figure 3 .

[0144] The method for combining historical identification evidences comprises:

[0145] S1, first, judge whether the DS identification evidences are independent, if yes, then according to the compatibility and exclusivity of the DS identification evidences, change the attribute pointing of the DS identification evidences, so that the DS identification evidences conflict, and then enter step S3; Otherwise, judge whether the joint of the current DS identification evidence and the cache evidence is independent, if yes, then enter S3; Otherwise, enter S2;

[0146] S2, cache the current non-independent evidence and change the attribute of the evidence identified by the DS to unknown, and then go to S3;

[0147] S3, combine the current decision result with the historical identification result.

[0148] Figure 4 The step 401 shown is to judge the independence of the current identification evidence, if it is independent, step 403 is executed, if it is not independent, step 402 is executed. Step 402 is to further combine the cached target historical identification evidence with the current identification evidence to jointly judge the independence of the evidence, if it is independent, step 403 is executed, if it is not independent, step 404 is executed. Step 404 is to cache the current non-independent identification evidence for subsequent fusion processing. Step 405 is to correct the identity attribute of the current non-independent SD identification evidence to unknown. Step 403 is to judge the compatibility and exclusivity between the independent identification evidence and the historical identification evidence, if they are compatible, the attribute of the current evidence needs to be changed so that they do not conflict with each other; if they are exclusive, the attribute of the current evidence needs to be changed so that they conflict with each other. Step 406 is to combine the DS between the current evidence and the historical identification evidence, the processing method is the same as that of step 201 of the DS evidence theory. Figure 2 Step 407 is to make a recognition decision based on the DS combination result to obtain the final decision result. After the recognition decision is made, one multi-source information fusion processing is completed.

[0149] The independence of the evidence refers to that the identity attribute of the target can be determined by only relying on a certain identification evidence, and on the contrary, certain evidence needs to be combined with other identification evidence to form a decision conclusion, and a single evidence cannot form an effective conclusion for identification. The compatibility and exclusivity of the evidence refers to the conflict between multiple identification evidences in the fusion processing. Two identification evidences are not in conflict, which is called compatible, and in conflict, which is called exclusive.

[0150] The independence and compatibility of the evidence can be referred to Table 1.
