Introduction to DSmT for Information Fusion

DSmT (Dezert-Smarandache Theory) is a new alternative to Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) which: 1) proposes a new mathematical framework for information fusion; 2) incorporates any kind of model (free, hybrid DSm models, and/or Shafer's model) for taking into account any integrity constraints of the fusion problem; 3) combines uncertain, high conflicting, and imprecise sources of evidence with a new rule of combination and overcomes limitations of the Dempster's rule; 4) is adapted to static or dynamic fusion applications represented in terms of belief functions based on the same general formalism.
