Classify RGB Images into Forest or Non-Forest

Implements two out-of box classifiers presented in for distinguishing forest and non-forest terrain images. Under these algorithms, there are frequentist approaches: one parametric, using stable distributions, and another one- non-parametric, using the squared Mahalanobis distance. The package also contains functions for data handling and building of new classifiers as well as some test data set.
