In Dempster-Shafer evidence theory (DST), the determination of basic belief assignment (BBA) is an important yet challenging issue before the evidence fusion. The rational mass determination of compound focal elements is crucial for fully taking advantage of DST, i.e., the ability to represent the ambiguity. In this paper, for the compound focal elements, we select and construct the compound-class samples with ambiguous class membership. Then, we use these samples to construct an end-to-end model called Evidential Radial Basis Function Network (E-RBFN), with the input as the sample and the output as the corresponding BBA. The E-RBFN can directly determine the mass values for all focal elemen... More >

Facing the challenges of low efficiency and poor quality in UAV 3D path planning within large-scale airspace complex environments, this paper introduces a divide-and-conquer approach, proposing a dual-layer path planning method based on multi-source information fusion. The method decomposes traditional path planning into two steps: heading planning and trajectory planning, ensuring both planning efficiency and path quality. This method segregates the solution process into two distinct stages: heading planning and path planning, thereby ensuring the planning of both efficiency and path quality. Firstly, the path planning phase is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, taking in... More >
