Objective of Image Interpretation
To extract qualitative and quantitative information
from imagery about the shape, location, structure,
characteristics, quality, condition, relationship of and
between objects using human knowledge.

Image Classification (1)
Image Classification involves assigning all pixels in the image to
particular classes or themes (e.g., water, coniferous forest, deciduous
forest, maize, wheat, etc.). The resulting classified image is comprised
of a mosaic of pixels, each of which belong to a particular theme, and is
essentially a thematic "map" of the original image.

Image Classification (2)
Information Classes and Spectral Classes:
Information classes are those categories of interest that the
analyst is actually trying to identify in the imagery, such as
different kinds of crops, different forest types or tree
species, different geologic units or rock types, etc.
Spectral classes are groups of pixels that are uniform (or
near-similar) with respect to their brightness values in the
different spectral channels of the data.
The objective is to match the spectral classes in the data to
the information classes of interest. Rarely is there a simple
one-to one match between these two types of classes.
