[GRASSLIST:587] i.gensig and signature file

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a signature file using i.gensig.
I aquiered the training sites with v.digit and
converted them to raster. My raster file consist of 5
small "clumps" with value 1 and the rest is null. When
I run i.gensig I gue the message
Signature 1 not positive definite
and the signature file only contains # on the first
line

What could be wrong?

Thanks

Daniel

Probably the traiing areas are to small or do not cover
the image channels?

You may try to use
i.gensigset
i.smap

instead which performs usually better than i.maxlik.
