PROGRAM:
NAME
pkoptsvm - program to optimize parameters for SVM classification
SYNOPSIS
pkoptsvm -t training [options] [advanced options]
DESCRIPTION
pkoptsvm The support vector machine depends on several parameters. Ideally, these
parameters should be optimized for each classification problem. In case of a radial basis
kernel function, two important parameters are {cost} and {gamma}. The utility pkoptsvm
can optimize these two parameters, based on an accuracy assessment (the Kappa value). If
an input test set (-i) is provided, it is used for the accuracy assessment. If not, the
accuracy assessment is based on a cross validation (-cv) of the training sample.
The optimization routine uses a grid search. The initial and final values of the
parameters can be set with -cc startvalue -cc endvalue and -g startvalue -g endvalue for
cost and gamma respectively. The search uses a multiplicative step for iterating the
parameters (set with the options -stepcc and -stepg). An often used approach is to define
a relatively large multiplicative step first (e.g 10) to obtain an initial estimate for
both parameters. The estimate can then be optimized by defining a smaller step (>1) with
constrained start and end values for the parameters cost and gamma.
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).
-i filename, --input filename
input test vector file
-cc startvalue -cc endvalue, --ccost startvalue --ccost endvalue
min and max boundaries the parameter C of C-SVC, epsilon-SVR, and nu-SVR (optional:
initial value)
-g startvalue -g endvalue, --gamma startvalue --gamma endvalue
min max boundaries for gamma in kernel function (optional: initial value)
-step stepsize, --step stepsize
multiplicative step for ccost and gamma in GRID search
-v level, --verbose level
use 1 to output intermediate results for plotting
Advanced options
-tln layer, --tln layer
training layer name(s)
-label attribute, --label attribute
identifier for class label in training vector file. (default: label)
-bal size, --balance size
balance the input data to this number of samples for each class (default: 0)
-random, --random
in case of balance, randomize input data
-min number, --min number
if number of training pixels is less then min, do not take this class into account
-b band, --band band
band index (starting from 0, either use band option or use start to end)
-sband band, --startband band
start band sequence number

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)
