ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for distinguishing objects. Signals representative of the objects are input. From the signals, measurements of multiple types are acquired. At least one of the measurement types is continuously variable. In response to the measurements, respective amounts of mutual information of the measurement types are determined. In response to the respective amounts of mutual information, at least one measurement type is selected for evaluation in distinguishing the objects.
