Fusion of Scores in a Detection Context Based on Alpha Integration

Abstract: We present a new method for fusing scores corresponding to different detectors (two-hypotheses case). It is based on alpha integration, which we have adapted to the detection context. Three optimization methods are presented: least mean square error, maximization of the area under the ROC curve, and minimization of the probability of error. Gradient algorithms are proposed for the three methods. Different experiments with simulated and real data are included. Simulated data consider the two-detector case to il… Show more

“…In the future, new classifiers can be applied in the proposed method to improve the classification accuracy. Recently, a combination of results from different classifiers has been proposed [30] and our future study will investigate this approach, which may improve the results obtained in this paper.…”

“…As Westin [8] pointed out, a non-significant difference between AUCs for two methods does not imply an equivalence between these methods. A different point of view on AUC was provided by [12] which focused on the fusion of methods for different detectors to improve their individual performance. The authors investigated the maximization of AUC as one of the instruments for optimizing the fusion.…”

“…The aim of the proposed STI is to minimize T. In STI, we consider a weighted sum of the space and temperature elements of STI, because this information-fusion method has a simple physical meaning and is easy to implement. Of course, we can also use other more effective information-fusion techniques, such as multiobjective optimization [44], alpha integration [45], and so on.…”
