The Hierarchical Classification algorithm evaluates the membership value of an image
object against a list of selected classes.
The classification result of the image object is updated according to the class evaluation
result. The three best classes are stored as the image object classification result. Classes
without a class description are assumed to have a membership value of 0. Class-related
features are considered only if explicitly enabled by the according parameter.
This algorithm is optimized for applying complex class hierarchies to entire image object
levels. This reflects the classification algorithm of eCognition Professional 4. When
working with domain-specific classification in processes, the algorithms Assign Class
and Classification are recommended
