Abstract :
A feature selection criterion is proposed which is a hybrid of a generalized interset and intraset distance. The problem considered is that of selecting the G best wavebands from a set of H possible wavebands (G<H). The selected wavebands can then be used as inputs to a small computer for decision processing.
