Example source code (SVMImageEstimatorClassificationMultiExample.cxx):

// This example illustrates the OTB's multi-class SVM
// capabilities. The theory behind this kind of classification is out
// of the scope of this guide. In OTB, the multi-class SVM
// classification is used in the same way as the two-class
// one. Figure~\ref{fig:SVMROISMULTI} shows the image to be classified
// and the associated ground truth, which is composed of 4 classes.
