Abstract:
1. A system for determining confidence of object identification, the system comprising: a communication module configured to receive a first object identification of an object, the first object identification comprising first discrimination identification and one or more first identification parameters; an object identification module configured to generate a second object identification of the object based on a received set of data, the second object identification comprising second discrimination identification and one or more second identification parameters; a confidence rules module configured to select at least one confidence rule from a plurality of confidence rules based on the first discrimination identification and the second discrimination identification; an object confidence module configured to generate an object confidence weight based on the one or more first identification parameters, the one or more second identification parameters, and the selected at least one confidence rule; a data fusion module configured to fuse the received set of data based on an alpha parameter, a beta parameter, and the object confidence weight, the alpha parameter associated with a fusion function and the beta parameter associated with a degree of expected independence of a received set of data and the received set of data comprising information associated with a classification of the object; and a probability of identification module configured to generate a probability of identification of the classification of the object based on the fused data.
