Designing a home security system using sensor data fusion with DST and DSmT methods

Today due to the importance and necessity of implementing security systems in homes and buildings with the capability of higher certainty and lower cost, sensor fusion methods as applicable and high performance methods are attracting the researchers´ attention. In this paper, the application of Dempster-Shafer evidential theory and the more general and newer one Dezert-Smarandache theory for implementing a home security system using sensor data fusion have been considered. The benefits of multisensor fusion in comparison with the traditional single sensor systems or systems in which any sensor itself connects to the control unit have been shown.
