DESCRIPTION

       Supervised Classification Tool (wxIClass) is a wxGUI compoment which allows the user to  create  training
       areas  and  generate spectral signatures.  The resulting signature file can be used as input for i.maxlik
       or as a seed signature file for i.cluster.  WxIClass can be launched from the Layer Manager menu  Imagery
       →  Classify  image  →  Interactive input for supervised classification or via command line as
       g.gui.iclass.

       wxIClass currently allows you to:

           •   create training areas (using customized vector digitizer)

           •   show histograms for each band and class (category)

           •   show coincidence plots for each band

           •   show raster cells that match training areas (within the number of standard deviations specified)

           •   specify color of class

           •   write signature file

           •   import vector map

           •   export vector map with attribute table

       wxIClass performs the first pass in the GRASS two-pass supervised image classification process; the GRASS
       module i.maxlik executes the second pass.  Both programs must be run to  generate  a  classified  map  in
       GRASS raster format.

       wxIClass  is  an  interactive program that allows the user to create multiple training areas for multiple
       classes and calculate the spectral signatures based on the cells that  are  within  the  training  areas.
       During this process the user will be shown histograms for each image band.  The user can also display the
       cells  of the image bands which fall within a user-specified number of standard deviations from the means
       in the spectral signature.  By doing this, the user can see how much of the image is  likely  to  be  put
       into the class associated with the signature.

       The  spectral  signatures  are  composed of region means and covariance matrices.  These region means and
       covariance matrices are used in the second pass (i.maxlik) to classify the image.

       Alternatively, the spectral signatures generated by wxIClass can be used for seed means for the  clusters
       in i.cluster.
