SVM and kNN exemplify several important trade-offs in machine learning (ML). SVM is often less computationally demanding than kNN and is easier to interpret, but it can identify only a limited set ...

This study employed machine learning – support vector machines (SVM) – to determine whether such structures can be automatically extracted from LiDAR data and classified using computerised techniques.
