Research of the Reliability Coefficient in Information Fusion

Abstract

The high quality of the information source can improve the accuracy of target recognition when data is fused via multi-information sources. In this paper, it proposes a new method to determine the reliability coefficient of the information source by information criterion. With calculating the reliabilities of information sources, the more reliable source would be used in the combination process to improve the recognition rate. The experiment results prove that the better results will be obtained with the reliability coefficient to choose the source in information fusion.
