Membership Functions for Multiclassification by Pairwise SVM

Abstract

Flying objects are observed by the radar to be automatically classified into multi-classes. The problem is solved by the pairwise classifications and their aggregation. The summation of the memberships of the pairwise judgements, instead of their minimum, are employed, in order to reconfigure the classes after the classification. For the summation aggregation, the consistency between final- and pairwise-classifications requires the constraints, e.g. negative votes, in the membership functions of the pairwise judgements.
