Fusing navigation and vision information with the Transferable Belief Model: application to an intelligent speed limit assistant
Résumé
The present paper focuses on the fusion, based on imprecise and uncertain information, between a Geographic Information System (GIS) and a Speed Limit Sign Recognition System (SLSRS), performed on camera images. This study is dedicated to the development of a Speed Limit Assistant (SLA) in the context of vehicle driving aid. The proposed SLA is developed within the Evidence Theory framework. The information from the sources is interpreted as belief functions using a non antagonistic bba in the Transferable Belief Model (TBM) semantics. This bba ensures that the conflict which could appear after the global fusion is exclusively due to source discordances. The present paper proposes a way to manage these discordances by formalizing a conflictrelated constraint decision rule.
