Classification Reference

Simon Giraudot, Florent Lafarge

This component implements an algorithm that classifies a data set into a user-defined set of labels (such as ground, vegetation, buildings, etc.). A flexible API is provided so that users can classify any type of data, compute their own local features on the input data set, and define their own labels.

Modules
	Concepts
	Main Functions
	Functions that perform classification based on a set of labels and a classifier, with or without regularization.
	Classifiers
	Classifiers are functors that, given a label set and an input item, associate this input item with an energy for each label.
	Data Structures
	Useful data structures that are used to compute features (computation of eigenvalues, for example) and to regularize classification (neighborhood).
	Label
	A label represents how an item should be classified, for example: vegetation, building, road, etc.
	Feature
	Features are defined as scalar fields that associates each input item with a specific value.
	Predefined Features
	CGAL provides some predefined features that are relevant for classification of point sets.
