Information-geometric VoI in Sensor Planning Co-PIs: A. Hero and D. Cochran • Motivating question: Can VoI with respect to a sensing objective be described geometrically via Rao’s differential geometric view of statistical manifolds? • Relevance: The VoI of a sequence of sensor control actions with respect to an objective may be characterized by geometric properties of curves on a statistical manifold • Collaborator: B. Sadler (ARL) Summary Smooth adjustment of sensor parameters defines a curve in a statistical manifold Q Information change can be quantified by measures on Q Sensor planning can be carried out wrt geometry defined by informational objectives [1] D.
