Bayesian Networks vs. Evidential Networks: An Application to Convoy Detection

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 80))

Abstract

In this article, the evidential network is combined with a temporal credal filter in order to incorporate the time information and describe the information propagation from a node to another one. Then we describe an application in convoy detection and propose a complex simulated scenario. The results are compared with those of our previous approach with Bayesian networks.
