Abstract Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory is a key technology for integrating uncertain information from multiple sources. However, the combination rules can be paradoxical when the evidence seriously conflict with each other. In the paper, we propose a novel combination algorithm based on unsupervised Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) density clustering. In the proposed mechanism, firstly, the original evidence sets are preprocessed by DBSCAN density clustering, and a successfully focal element similarity criteria is used to mine the potential information between the evidence, and make a correct measure of the conflict evidence. Then, two More >
