We present a novel approach to determine a local q-space
metric that is optimal from an information theoretic
perspective with respect to the expected signal
statistics. The obtained metric will then serve as a
guide for the generation of specific q-space sample
distributions. It should be noted that the approach
differs significantly from the classical estimation
theory approach, e.g. one based on Cramer-Rao bounds.
The basis for finding the q-space metric is to compute
the information gain from measuring at a second q-space
location given that we already have information from a
first location.
