Supervised classification is much more accurate for mapping classes, but depends heavily on the cognition and skills of the image specialist. The strategy is simple: the specialist must recognize conventional classes (real and familiar) or meaningful (but somewhat artificial) classes in a scene from prior knowledge, such as personal experience with what's present in the scene, or more generally, the region it's located in, by experience with thematic maps, or by on-site visits. This familiarity allows the individual(s) making the classification to choose and set up discrete classes (thus supervising the selection) and then, assign them category names. As a rule, the classifying person also locates specific training sites on the image - either a print or a monitor display - to identify the classes.
