           Name of input imagery subgroup

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.
