Dempster-Shafer's Basic Probability Assignment Based on Fuzzy Membership Functions

In this paper, an image segmentation method based on Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is proposed. Basic probability assignment (bpa) is estimated in unsupervised way using pixels fuzzy membership degrees derived from image histogram. No assumption is made about the images data distribution. bpa is e...
