Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and standard band selections (RGB, CIR, SWIR) are compared to adaptive reduction methods. Adaptive PCA is based on stratified sampling based on class labels, custom band selection is based on relevance profiles and uses only three most relevant individual bands, while Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is used to find an optimal subspace projection of the data

* Pixel-based segmentation of normalized spectra as reference, all other are spatial-spectral-based
