The VICHY tool creates a video animation of a set of multi-level thematic maps, according to an established hierarchic structure, following an initial image classification in a given number of classes (k). It receives three different possible sets of input data, which are illustrated in the figures below.

The output is a video with the classified images in every hierarchic level. The VICHY tool was developed in MATLAB, and can be easily installed by using the Apps tab on the desktop tool strip of the userīs MATLAB installation. It is available for download here.


Case 1 - RGB image and the initial number of classes (k) as inputs




Case 2 - Classified image and an hierarchical stucture as inputs




Case 3 - Classified image and k centroids as inputs
