To address the problems of fusion efficiency, detection rate (DR), and false detection rate (FDR) that are associated with existing information fusion methods, a multisource information fusion method featuring dynamic evidence combination based on layer clustering and improved evidence theory is proposed in this study. First, the original alerts are hierarchically clustered and conflicting evidence is eliminated. Then, dynamic evidence combination is applied to fuse the condensed alerts, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the fusion. The experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to current fusion methods in terms of fusion efficiency, DR, and FDR.

Abstract With the development of evidence theory, classical Dempster-Shafer evidence theory has been extended to complex plane, called complex evidence theory. However, counterintuitive result may occurs in the case when fusing conflicting complex evidences. To address this problem, a new multisource information fusion method is proposed by means of complex evidential distance function. This proposed method can reduce the impact of abnormal complex evidence on the fusion results to better support decision. A numerical example and an application of medical diagnosis verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed fusion method.

The Dempster-Shafer evidence theory has been extensively used in various applications of information fusion owing to its capability in dealing with uncertain modeling and reasoning. However, when meeting highly conflicting evidence, the classical Dempster’s combination rule may give counter-intuitive results. To address this issue, we propose a new method in this work to fuse conflicting evidence. Firstly, a new evidence distance metric, named Belief Mover’s Distance, which is inspired by the Earth Mover’s Distance, is defined to measure the difference between two pieces of evidence. Subsequently, the credibility weight and distance weight of each piece of evidence are computed according to the Belief Mover’s Distance. Then, the final weight of each piece of evidence is generated by unifying these two weights. Finally, the classical Dempster’s rule is employed to fuse the weighted average evidence. Several examples and applications are presented to analyze the performance of the proposed method. Experimental results manifest that the proposed method is remarkably effective in comparison with other methods.

Aiming at the problem of the conventional vibration fault diagnosis technology with inconsistent result of a hydroelectric generating unit, an information fusion method was proposed based on the improved evidence theory. In this algorithm, the original evidence was amended by the credibility factor, and then the synthesis rule of standard evidence theory was utilized to carry out information fusion. The results show that the proposed method can obtain any definitive conclusion even if there is high conflict evidence in the synthesis evidence process, and may avoid the divergent phenomenon when the consistent evidence is fused, and is suitable for the fault classification of hydroelectric generating unit.

With the large-scale construction of urban subways, the detection of tunnel defects becomes particularly important. Due to the complexity of tunnel environment, it is difficult for traditional tunnel defect detection algorithms to detect such defects quickly and accurately. This article presents a deep learning FCN-RCNN model that can detect multiple tunnel defects quickly and accurately. The algorithm uses a Faster RCNN algorithm, Adaptive Border ROI boundary layer and a three-layer structure of the FCN algorithm. The Adaptive Border ROI boundary layer is used to reduce data set redundancy and difficulties in identifying interference during data set creation. The algorithm is compared with single FCN algorithm with no Adaptive Border ROI for different defect types. The results show that our defect detection algorithm not only addresses interference due to segment patching, pipeline smears and obstruction but also the false detection rate decreases from 0.371, 0.285, 0.307 to 0.0502, respectively. Finally, corrected by cylindrical projection model, the false detection rate is further reduced from 0.0502 to 0.0190 and the identification accuracy of water leakage defects is improved.

Vehicle detection is expected to be robust and efficient in various scenes. We propose a multivehicle detection method, which consists of YOLO under the Darknet framework. We also improve the YOLO-voc structure according to the change of the target scene and traffic flow. The classification training model is obtained based on ImageNet and the parameters are fine-tuned according to the training results and the vehicle characteristics. Finally, we obtain an effective YOLO-vocRV network for road vehicles detection. In order to verify the performance of our method, the experiment is carried out on different vehicle flow states and compared with the classical YOLO-voc, YOLO 9000, and YOLO v3. The experimental results show that our method achieves the detection rate of 98.6% in free flow state, 97.8% in synchronous flow state, and 96.3% in blocking flow state, respectively. In addition, our proposed method has less false detection rate than previous works and shows good robustness.

Aerial image-based target detection has problems such as low accuracy in multiscale target detection situations, slow detection speed, missed targets and falsely detected targets. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a detection algorithm based on the improved You Only Look Once (YOLO)v3 network architecture from the perspective of model efficiency and applies it to multiscale image-based target detection. First, the K-means clustering algorithm is used to cluster an aerial dataset and optimize the anchor frame parameters of the network to improve the effectiveness of target detection. Second, the feature extraction method of the algorithm is improved, and a feature fusion method is used to establish a multiscale (large-, medium-, and small-scale) prediction layer, which mitigates the problem of small target information loss in deep networks and improves the detection accuracy of the algorithm. Finally, label regularization processing is performed on the predicted value, the generalized intersection over union (GIoU) is used as the bounding box regression loss function, and the focal loss function is integrated into the bounding box confidence loss function, which not only improves the target detection accuracy but also effectively reduces the false detection rate and missed target rate of the algorithm. An experimental comparison on the RSOD and NWPU VHR-10 aerial datasets shows that the detection effect of high-efficiency YOLO (HE-YOLO) is significantly improved compared with that of YOLOv3, and the average detection accuracies are increased by 8.92% and 7.79% on the two datasets, respectively. The algorithm not only shows better detection performance for multiscale targets but also reduces the missed target rate and false detection rate and has good robustness and generalizability.

Existing methods employed for combining temporal and spatial evidence derived from multiple sources into a single coherent description of objects and their environments lack versatility in various applications such as multi-sensor target recognition. This is addressed in the present study by proposing an adaptive evidence fusion method based on the power pignistic probability distance. This method classifies evidence sets into non-conflicting and conflicting evidence sets based on the maximum power pignistic probability distance obtained between evidence pairs in the evidence set. Non-conflicting evidence sets are fused using Dempster’s rule, while conflicting evidence sets are fused using a weighted average combination method based on the power pignistic probability distance. The superior evidence fusion performance of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparisons with the performances of seven other fusion methods based on numerical examples with four different evidence conflict scenarios. The results show that the method proposed in this paper not only can properly fuse different types of evidence, but also provides an excellent focus on the components of evidence sets with high confidence, which is conducive to timely and accurate decisions.
