Post-classification data generalization takes on two forms, spatial and thematic. Thematic generalization is the grouping of classes to form meaningful categories. Since this is performed at the discretion of the analyst, bias term may be introduced and information may be lost if the analyst does not recognize a unique resource. Another form of thematic generalization is the smoothing of a classified data set to remove any (salt and pepper) single classified pixels.
