Hi, this is my first message to the list. I'm using Grass 6.4.3 under Linuxmint 16.
I'm trying to make a supervised classification. After digitizing the training areas, I transformed them from vector to raster. Then I've done the following: g.region rast=train_area_2013_03_05_raster@PERMANENT,2013_03_05_toar4@PERMANENT then i.group group=group subgroup=sub_group input=2013_03_05_toar4@PERMANENT,2013_03_05_toar5@PERMANENT,2013_03_05_toar3@PERMANENT and i.gensig trainingmap=train_area_2013_03_05_raster@PERMANENT group=group@PERMANENT subgroup=sub_group signaturefile=superv_class but the resulting signature file, only contains one character: "#". The output of i.gensig in the console is the following: Finding training classes... 3 classes found Calculating class means... Calculating class covariance matrices... Signature 1 not invertible Signature 2 not invertible Signature 3 not invertible i.gensig complete. If I try: i.maxlik group=group@PERMANENT subgroup=sub_group sigfile=superv_class class=results_class I obtain the following error message: ERROR: Unable to read signature file <superv_class> I've been searching, but I couldn't find the solution. I've tried this: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/11933/problem-running-i-gensigset-in-grass-any-ideas And read this: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/41418/i-maxlik-cannot-read-i-class-output-signature-file But here, there's no solution suggested. As in this case, I also used i.cluster to generate an unsupervised signature file and i.maxlik reads this perfectly well. Here: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2010-April/055821.html there's another similar question, but the only answer says: "I suspect that either the training areas are suboptimal or are too small." What does suboptimal means? What is an optimal training area? How big should they be? I have 30 areas, 10 for each class. They aren't too big because I have a small site to clasify. What does "Signature X not invertible" means? Is this the real problem? Any idea? Thanks for your help! Lucas.
