To improve the classification performance of multiple classifier systems
a novel multiple classifier system using shortest feature line segment(SFLS)as member classifiers is proposed. According to the SFLS's algorithmic principle on classification
the length of the shortest feature line segment is used to represent the probability
i.e.
the fuzzy membership of the query sample belonging to the corresponding class. Thus
the member classifier's output is transformed from the abstract level to the measurement level. Furthermore
by transforming the fuzzy membership function into the mass function and using fuzzy-based evidential fusion rules
the classification fusion is implemented. Compared with traditional multiple classifier systems
the proposed approach can use more detailed information for implementing more effective decision-level fusion. Experimental results show that the proposed multiple classifier systems can effectively improve classification accuracy.
