Complex evidence theory, as a generalized D-S evidence theory, has attracted academic attention because it can well express uncertainty by means of complex basic belief assignment (CBBA), and realize uncertainty reasoning by complex combination rule. However, the uncertainty measurement in complex evidence theory is still an open issue. In order to make better decisions, a complex pignistic belief transformation (CPBT) method has been proposed to assign CBBAs of multi-element focal elements to subsets. The essence of CPBT is the redistribution of complex mass function by means of the concept of fractal. In this paper, based on fractal theory, experimental simulation and analysis have been carried out on the generation process of CPBT in time dimension. Then, a new fractal-based complex belief (FCB) entropy is proposed to measure the uncertainty of CBBA. Finally, the properties of FCB entropy are analyzed, and several examples are used to verify its effectiveness.
