| 20110010329 | METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR MERGING INFORMATION FROM SEVERAL SENSORS - The invention relates to a method, a device and a system for merging information originating from several non-independent sensors. This invention makes it possible to prevent the same item of information from being reckoned twice during merging. The solution afforded consists of the creation of a new combination operator applying to latent belief structures. Said latent belief structures are obtained previously from conventional belief functions. These conventional belief functions are produced directly on the basis, for example, of the sensors of the system. The invention also proposes a means of transforming these latent belief structures into a probability distribution useful for decision taking. | 01-13-2011 |
