Decentralised possibilistic inference with applications to target tracking
Fusing and sharing information from multiple sensors over a network is a challenging task. Part of this challenge arises from the absence of a foundational rule for fusing probability distributions, with various approaches stemming from different principles. Yet, when expressing tracking algorithms within the framework of possibility theory, one specific fusion rule can be proved to be exact in the sense that it is equivalent to the non-distributed possibilistic approach. In this article, this fusion rule is applied to decentralised fusion, based on the possibilistic analogue of the Bernoulli filter. We then show that the proposed approach outperforms its probabilistic counterpart on simulated data.

Statistical dependencies between information sources are rarely known, yet in practical distributed tracking schemes, they must be taken into account in order to prevent track divergences. Chernoff fusion is well-known a…
Single-pass Possibilistic Clustering with Damped Window Footprints
Streaming clustering is a domain that has become extremely relevant in the age of big data, such as in network traffic analysis or in processing continuously-running sensor data. Furthermore, possibilistic models offer u…
