Fusion by Dempster-Schafer's rule of the four spectral bands MSS4 to MSS7 of LANDSAT image

Fusion by Dempster-Schafer's Rule of the Four Spectral
Bands MSS4 to MSS7 of LANDSAT Image

The result is similar (table 45) to those obtained by using conjunctive fusion and adaptive fusions because Dempster-Shafer's rule has a conjunctive behaviour and the sole spectral information does not make it possible to better discriminate the classes to be recognized.
