The invention particularly relates to a target classification and uncertainty evaluation method based on
semantic association evidence fusion, and the method comprises the following steps: 1, constructing and training a target fusion classification neural network, and calculating a
Dirichlet distribution concentration parameter of each
modal input data representing an evidence quantity; step 2, associating the generated Dirichlet
concentration parameter with the evidence quantity, and calculating single-mode uncertainty; step 3, constructing a
semantic association matrix and performing discount correction, exploring potential association and
confusion relationships among different categories, and completing multi-source evidence fusion through a Dempster combination rule; step 4, integrating the global uncertainty of the fused evidence and the local uncertainty of the single mode to obtain final uncertainty evaluation; according to the method, the
modal information can be effectively fused to obtain high-precision fusion classification, the uncertainty of fusion classification can be quantitatively evaluated, a basis is provided for improving the safety and
interpretability of intelligent classification decision, and the method is suitable for the multi-source sensor
decision fusion field of automatic driving,
medical diagnosis and the like.
