. The support vector machine (SVM) is a group of theoreticallysuperior machine learning algorithms. It was found competitive with the best available machine learning algorithms in classifying high-dimensionaldata sets. This paper gives an introduction to the theoretical development of the SVM and an experimental evaluation of its accuracy, stability and training speed in deriving land cover classi(cid:142) cations from satellite images. The SVM was compared to three other popular classi(cid:142) ers, including the maximum likelihood classi(cid:142) er (MLC), neural network classi(cid:142) ers (NNC) and decision tree classi(cid:142) ers (DTC). The impacts of kernel con(cid:142)guration on the performance of the SVM and of the selection of training data and input variables on the four classi(cid:142) ers were also evaluated in this experiment.
