Abstract

Multi sensor fusion is an important component of applications for systems that use correlated data from multiple sensors to determine the state of a system. As the state of the system being monitored and many sensors are affected by the environmental conditions changing with time, the multi sensor fusion requires a correlation-dependent approach. The behavior of this approach should vary according to the correlation parameter. In this paper, we compare our possibilistic correlation-dependent fusion approach (PCDF) with the possiblistic combiner Dempster-Shafer. We focus in this paper on the mathematical background of this approach so that it can be used in many useful applications.
