The Training Sample Manager

The Training Sample Manager is the mechanism for managing training samples. With it, you can edit the class name and value, merge and split classes, delete classes, change display color, load and save training samples, evaluate training samples, and create a signature file.

The manager is accessible from the Image Classification toolbar by clicking the Training Sample Manager button . The following image shows the dialog box of the manager:

The following table lists all the buttons on the manager and their functions:

	Statistics	View statistics for the selected training samples. This button will be grayed out if there is no training sample created.
	Create Signature File	Create a signature file for use in further classifications.
