SVM is a classification system derived from statistical learning theory. It separates the classes with a decision surface that maximizes the margin between the classes. The surface is often called the optimal hyperplane, and the data points closest to the hyperplane are called support vectors. The support vectors are the critical elements of the training set.
You can adapt SVM to become a nonlinear classifier through the use of nonlinear kernels. While SVM is a binary classifier in its simplest form, it can function as a multiclass classifier by combining several binary SVM classifiers (creating a binary classifier for each possible pair of classes). ENVI Classic’s implementation of SVM uses the pairwise classification strategy for multiclass classification. SVM classification output is the decision values of each pixel for each class, which are used for probability estimates. The probability values, stored in ENVI Classic as rule images, re
