pksvmogr

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.

OPTIONS

-t filename, --training filename

Training vector file. A single vector file contains all training features (must be set as: b0, b1, b2,...) for all classes (class numbers identified by label option). Use multiple training files for bootstrap aggregation (alternative to the --bag and --bagsize options, where a random subset is taken from a single training file)

-i filename, --input filename

input image

-o filename, --output filename

Output classification image

-cv value, --cv value

N-fold cross validation mode (default: 0)

-tln layer, --tln layer

Training layer name(s)

-c name, --class name

List of class names.

-r value, --reclass value

List of class values (use same order as in --class option).

-of GDALformat, --oformat GDALformat

Output image format (see also gdal_translate(1)).

-f format, --f format

Output ogr format for active training sample

-co NAME=VALUE, --co NAME=VALUE

Creation option for output file. Multiple options can be specified.

-ct filename, --ct filename

Color table in ASCII format having 5 columns: id R G B ALFA (0: transparent, 255: solid)

-label attribute, --label attribute

Identifier for class label in training vector file. (default: label)

-prior value, --prior value

Prior probabilities for each class (e.g., -prior 0.3 -prior 0.3 -prior 0.2) Used for input only (ignored for cross validation)

-g gamma, --gamma gamma

Gamma in kernel function

-cc cost, --ccost cost

The parameter C of C_SVC, epsilon_SVR, and nu_SVR

-m filename, --mask filename

Only classify within specified mask (vector or raster). For raster mask, set nodata values with the option --msknodata.

-msknodata value, --msknodata value

Mask value(s) not to consider for classification. Values will be taken over in classification image.

-nodata value, --nodata value

Nodata value to put where image is masked as nodata

-v level, --verbose level

Verbose level

Advanced options
-b band, --band band

Band index (starting from 0, either use --band option or use --startband to --endband)

-sband band, --startband band

Start band sequence number

-eband band, --endband band

End band sequence number

-bal size, --balance size

Balance the input data to this number of samples for each class

-min number, --min number

If number of training pixels is less then min, do not take this class into account (0: consider all classes)

-bag value, --bag value

Number of bootstrap aggregations (default is no bagging: 1)

-bagsize value, --bagsize value

Percentage of features used from available training features for each bootstrap aggregation (one size for all classes, or a different size for each class respectively

-comb rule, --comb rule

How to combine bootstrap aggregation classifiers (0: sum rule, 1: product rule, 2: max rule). Also used to aggregate classes with rc option.

-cb filename, --classbag filename

Output for each individual bootstrap aggregation

-prob filename, --prob filename

Probability image.

-offset value, --offset value

Offset value for each spectral band input features: refl[band]=(DN[band]-offset[band])/scale[band]

-scale value, --scale value

Scale value for each spectral band input features: refl=(DN[band]-offset[band])/scale[band] (use 0 if scale min and max in each band to -1.0 and 1.0)

-svmt type, --svmtype type

Type of SVM (C_SVC, nu_SVC,one_class, epsilon_SVR, nu_SVR)

-kt type, --kerneltype type

Type of kernel function (linear,polynomial,radial,sigmoid)

-kd value, --kd value

Degree in kernel function

-c0 value, --coef0 value
