NAME

       pksvmogr - classify vector dataset using Support Vector Machine

SYNOPSIS

       pksvmogr -t training [-i input] [-o output] [-cv value] [options] [advanced options]

DESCRIPTION

       pksvmogr  implements  a  support vector machine (SVM) to solve a supervised classification
       problem.   The  implementation  is  based  on  the  open   source   C++   library   libSVM
       (http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm).  Both raster and vector files are supported as
       input.  The output will contain the classification result,  either  in  raster  or  vector
       format,  corresponding  to the format of the input.  A training sample must be provided as
       an OGR vector dataset that contains the class labels and the features  for  each  training
       point.  The point locations are not considered in the training step.  You can use the same
       training sample for classifying different images, provided the  number  of  bands  of  the
       images  are  identical.   Use  the utility pkextract to create a suitable training sample,
       based on a sample of points or polygons.  For raster output maps you can  attach  a  color
       table using the option -ct.
