Efficient combination approach of conflict evidence

In order to efficiently combine highly conflict evidence, amethod based on the distance of the bodies of evidence was proposed. A distance function between the bodies of evidence was introduced. The support degree and the credibilityof each evidence were obtained. By weightedaveraging the evidence in the system, theDempster combination rule was used to realize information fusion. Comparing with the existing methods, the proposed approach is more efficient in combining conflict evidence.
