The contributing factors of a fault are complex owing to the uncertainty of the actual environment and the relative importance of fault criteria. Consequently, these causes fails to be considered felicitously in many conventional methods. In this paper, a neutrosophic set based fault diagnosis method based on power average operator is proposed to resolve this matter. The neutrosophic set generated from multi-stage fault sample data would be aggregated via the power average operator, then by using the defuzzification of neutrosophic set, the fault diagnosis results could be obtained. The combination of power average operator and neutrosophic set can be used for handling the relative importance of criteria, and the uncertainty of fault data. Finally, an illustrative example was provided to demonstrate the reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing with the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":348881,"journal":{"name":"2019 22th International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116157980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it lacks the identity of targets. We combine spatio-temporal and visual similarities obtained from object bounding boxes and deep CNN appearance features, respectively, to alleviate its shortcoming of labelling targets across frames. We apply this developed method for tracking multiple targets in video sequences acquired under varying environmental conditions and targets density using a tracking-by-detection approach. Finally, we carry out extensive experiments on Multiple Object Tracking 2016 (MOTI6) and 2017 (MOTI7) benchmark datasets and find out that our tracker significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art trackers in terms of tracking accuracy and precision.","PeriodicalId":348881,"journal":{"name":"2019 22th International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"303 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116334114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This novel feature-based stereo visual SLAM framework uses a stochastic filter based on the unscented transform and a progressive Bayes update, avoiding linearization of the nonlinear spatial transformation group. 6-DoF poses are represented by dual quaternions where rotational and translational components are stochastically modeled by Bingham and Gaussian distributions. Maps represented by point clouds of ORB-features are incrementally built and landmarks are updated with an unscented transform-based method. In order to get reliable measurements during the update, an optical flow-based approach is proposed to remove false feature associations. Drift is corrected by pose graph optimization once loop closure is detected. The KITTI and EuRoC datasets for stereo setup are used for evaluation. The performance of the proposed system is comparable to state-of-the-art optimization-based SLAM systems and better than existing filtering-based approaches.","PeriodicalId":348881,"journal":{"name":"2019 22th International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114743127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The off-line phenomenon often occurs during the operation of pantograph-catenary system and generates off-line arc. Off-line arc spark causes drastic change of locomotive current and aggravates wear of pantograph slide plate and catenary, which seriously endangers the safe operation of rail transit. The automatic analysis and synthesis of dynamic image information, speed information acquired in time sequence and static track information in map database by computer simulation technology to complete the detection and geographic localization of pantograph-catenary arc defects are researched in this paper. Useful information needed is obtained by fusion of sensor information and human-derived prior information: according to the fusion of prior knowledge and image processing, a pantograph location method based on connected region and arc recognition method based on regional color feature are proposed. The degree of arc defect and catenary wear is obtained by fusion of image detection results and speed information, the severity of defect is determined quickly, and the state of arc is monitored in real time. Through the fusion analysis of arc monitoring results and highspeed rail speed and track information, the localization of arc defects in pantograph-catenary is determined, and the region of serious wear of catenary is obtained, which provides a reference for overhaul and maintenance of catenary. This method runs fast and has strong real-time performance, which meets the requirements of real-time detection and localization of pantograph-catenary arc.","PeriodicalId":348881,"journal":{"name":"2019 22th International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130445341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the inherent challenges associated with ubiquitous sensing and randomness of data acquisition, adequate evaluation of advanced detection and sensor fusion systems remains a major challenge that hampers the progress in this direction. In this paper, a simulation approach for generating a synthetic dataset for comprehensive evaluation of Situational Awareness Systems (SASs) that utilize ubiquitous sensing for data acquisition is presented. With a particular emphasis on recording and organizing spatio-temporal observations, the steps towards construction of a comprehensive dataset that takes into account various spatiotemporal parameters corresponding to location, hazards and detectors is presented.

On the one hand, obtaining the optimal fusion result often needs an infeasible amount of additional information, but on the other hand, conservative methods usually lead to more pessimistic results in comparison. This paper proposes a square root decomposition of the incorporated noise terms to reconstruct the cross-covariance matrices between sensor nodes. To save communication bandwidth, a residual is defined that allows bounding of the cross-covariance matrix with a reduced number of noise terms.

Most all research in social learning assume that the likelihoods of the private observations given the possible hypotheses are known with absolute certainty. However, these likelihoods must be machine learned before the social learning process. Recent work has extended social learning for uncertain likelihoods. Such likelihoods are only known within Dirichlet distributions due to limited training samples available to learn them. This paper investigates the effects of malicious agents when both the good and malicious agents are uncertain about their likelihoods. Such malicious agents are trying to drive the consensus to accept an incorrect hypothesis and reject the correct hypothesis.
