Managing Uncertainty in Maritime Applications

The theory of evidence is widely used to model uncertainty in many applications. Representation of relationship between evidence and hypothesis space are not obvious and is to be explored in many practical cases. Evidential mappings as relationship models are sort of belief assignments. The assignments engage binary and fuzzy sets with crisp, interval and fuzzy valued masses. In all cases reasoning mechanism available in Dempster-Shafer theory is used to depict relation between the mentioned spaces. In the paper interval valued masses with binary and fuzzy evidence representations are presented. The concept is exploited in order to solve floating objects detection.
