Tool Name	Supervised Majority Choice Image Classification
Tool ID	classify_majority
Library ID	imagery_classification
Version	1.0
Author(s)	O. Conrad (c) 2023

Description

The majority choice tool for supervised image classification runs the selected classification tools using standard settings and takes for each pixel of the resulting classification the class that has been identified most often by the individual classifiers.

Random Forest is not selected by default because it generates randomized results with more or less strong differences each time it is run.
K-Nearest Neighbours and Artificial Neural Network have been excluded from default, because using them might be a bit more time consuming.
