Hello everybody!
For my academic project work I intend to use only open-source software. My objective is to carry out classification of satellite digital images using Geostatistics. I found out GRASS is a good software for image processing. Also a good geostatistics software is R. It is also known that R can be used in combination with GRASS. But I am not able to confirm that satellite digital image classification can be carried out using geostatistical analysis with GRASS in combination with R.
Can anybody confirm the capability of the software in question or give any alternative suggestions?
Regards,
Chethan S.

Yes, this can be confirmed. We are currently peer-reviewing a related paper
for Springer Lecture Notes on the OGRS 2009 conference in Nantes,
You can find the conference contribution here:

"An alternative approach for object oriented classification of historical
black & white aerial photographs using GRASS GIS and R"
We are working here in my institution on a similar project and will likely
document the steps in the GRASS Wiki in the near future.
