DESCRIPTION

       i.cca is an image processing program that takes from two to eight (raster) band  files  and  a  signature
       file, and outputs the same number of raster band files transformed to provide maximum separability of the
       categories indicated by the signatures.  This implementation of the canonical  components  transformation
       is  based  on the algorithm contained in the LAS image processing system. CCA is also known as "Canonical
       components transformation".

       Typically the user will use the g.gui.iclass program to collect a set of signatures and then  pass  those
       signatures  along  with  the raster band files to i.cca.  The raster band file names are specified on the
       command line by giving the group and subgroup that were used to collect the signatures.

       The output raster map names are built by appending a ".1", ".2", etc.  to  the  output  raster  map  name
       specified on the command line.

   Parameters:
       group=name
           Name of the imagery group to which the 2 to 8 raster band files used belong.

       subgroup=name
           Name of the imagery subgroup to which the 2 to 8 raster band files used belong.

       signature=name
           Name of an ASCII file containing spectral signatures.

       output=name
           Output  raster  map  prefix  name.   The output raster map layer names are built by appending a ".1",
           ".2", etc. onto the output name specified by the user.

NOTES

       i.cca respects the current geographic region definition and the current mask setting while performing the
       transformation.
