A method and apparatus for selecting a value or change in value of a measurement variable (40) for an observation of an object, comprising: receiving models (26,28) for the object defined in terms of an observation parameter (42) and a measurement variable (40); selecting values of the measurement variable (40); for each model (26, 28), determining a value of the observation parameter (42) for each selected value; for each selected value, determining a value of an expected classification potential level using the determined values; and selecting a value of the measurement variable dependent upon the potential level values; wherein the potential level is an expected level of: the information or lack of information, and/or the certainty or uncertainty, with which the object could be classified if a measurement of the observation parameter (42) were taken of the object at the respective value of the measurement variable (40).
