Parameters:¶

trainingmap=name [required]

Ground truth training map

group=name [required]

Name of input imagery group

subgroup=name [required]

Name of input imagery subgroup

signaturefile=name [required]

Name for output file containing result signatures

Parameters¶

trainingmap=name

ground truth training map

This map must be prepared by the user in advance using vector or raster digitizer. Of course other methods could be devised by the user for creating this training map - i.gensig makes no assumption about the origin of this map layer. It simply creates signatures for the classes defined in the training map for the image to be classified (the image is specified in other options - see below). The wxGUI vector digitizer can be used for interactively creating the training map.

group=name

imagery group

This is the name of the group that contains the band files which comprise the image to be analyzed. The i.group command is used to construct groups of raster layers which comprise an image.

subgroup=name

subgroup containing image files

This names the subgroup within the group that selects a subset of the bands to be analyzed. The i.group command is also used to prepare this subgroup. The subgroup mechanism allows the user to select a subset of all the band files that form an image.

signaturefile=name

resultant signature file

This is the resultant signature file (containing the means and covariance matrices) for each class in the training map that is associated with the band files in the subgroup select (see above).
