of Landsat MSS pixels in May 1984. Test field has 
16km x 12km area and the population is 14768 after 
excluding mixels. The test field contains seven cate- 
gories with widely varied frequencies (Table 6): agri- 
cultural field(A),barren(B), developed area(D), for- 
est(F), paddy field(P),residential area(R) and water 
surface(W).

Training samples were randomly selected in propor- 
tional to the frequency, sampling rates was 5 percent 
for the whole pixels. The rest 95 percent samples 
were used for classification test. Namely, number of 
training samples was 738 and number of classification 
samples was 14030.

The classification result about Landsat MSS'data 
are shown in Fig.7 and Table 7. 
Fig. 7 shows the triplet tree produced by the pro- 
posal method. Categories expected have similar fea- 
tures such as {P, W} and {B,D,R} were in the near 
node and divided repeatedly in the tree. In this case, 
no determined node for category F was appeared. 
Characteristics of Forest area in this image is near 
other category, especially agricultural field, so clas- 
sification with specified reliability could not be exe- 
cuted. 
Table 7 shows the sizes of determined nodes and 
their classification accuracies. When parameter p be- 
comes larger, size of determined nodes increases but 
classification accuracies decreases. 
Table 8 and Table 9 show classification accuracy. 
Bayesian method is superior in averaged performance. 
Triplet trees is superior in total accuracy, by exclud- 
ing indistinct part to undetermined node. Present 
design method calculate boundary with sample num- 
bers, so in case categories with similar distribution 
have large difference in frequency, categories with 
small frequency is tend to be ignored.
