Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for classifying a change in the state of a target being monitored, said method comprising: measuring feature data associated with said target during a defined time duration; processing using a computer processor, real time sensor data from said target using a graph data structure that has defined therein convex hulls having regions of ambiguity corresponding to each of a set of target classes corresponding to target features, wherein the intersection of convex hulls for each pair of classes defines the region of ambiguity in feature space; transitioning, according to the graph, to another feature space having different features, in response to measurement data of feature vectors within an ambiguous region of feature space defined by convex hulls; and determining using a computer processor, a next sensor measurement data for obtaining additional measured feature data of the target according to the current state of the graph data structure and the region of ambiguity; and repeating said processing, transitioning and determining steps until the change in state of the target is classified.
