A Method to Ranking Reliability of Sensors of Multisensor System: Interval-Valued Number Case

Abstract

A method to ranking information reliability of sensors of multisensor system is proposed. The case is considered when the set of data is represented by interval-valued numbers. The information reliability of any sensor is calculated based on estimates of the proximity of its data to the data of the other sensors of system. To assess the proximity three metric are applied: Wasserstein, Hausdorff-Chavent, and Euclidean ones. The numerical example is given to exemplify the application of the proposed method.
