Abstract

This paper discusses some fundamental requirements for a human-aided multi-sensor fusion system, and proposes an approach that implements such a system. This approach involves integration of the probabilistic argumentation system and the structural evidential argumentation system, which both are variants of the Dempster-Shafer belief function theory. An example is shown that illustrates how this integrated approach can be applied to missile defense applications.
