•This is a graphical representation of the
inputs to the classifier (1) the clustered signature file, (2) the raw
satellite imagery, (3) the area sampling frame.
|
|
•The maximum likelihood classifier performs a
pixel-by-pixel classification based on the final, combined statistics
file. It calculates the probability of
each pixel being from each signature; then classifies a pixel to the category
with highest probability. The
processing time depends on size of file to be classified (i.e. number of
pixels), number of categories in the statistics file and number of input
dimensions (number of bands/pixel).

•The outputs are a categorized or classified
image in PEDITOR format and the associated tabulation of categorized pixels
for each cover type.
