The following table lists the Classification and Pattern Recognition tools and provides a brief description of each:

Tools of the Classification and Pattern Recognition toolset
Tool	Description
Classify Raster	Classifies a raster dataset based on an Esri classifier definition file (.ecd) and raster dataset inputs. The .ecd file contains all the information needed to perform a specific type of Esri-supported classification. The inputs to this tool must match the inputs used to generate the required .ecd file.
Classify Raster Using Spectra	Classifies a multiband raster dataset using spectral matching techniques. The input spectral data can be provided as a point feature class or a .json file.
Compute Confusion Matrix	Computes a confusion matrix with errors of omission and commission and derives a kappa index of agreement, Intersection over Union (IoU), and an overall accuracy between the classified map and the reference data.
Compute Segment Attributes	Computes a set of attributes associated with the segmented image. The input raster can be a single-band or 3-band, 8-bit segmented image.
Create Accuracy Assessment Points	Creates randomly sampled points for postclassification accuracy assessment.
Generate Training Samples From Seed Points	Generates training samples from seed points, such as accuracy assessment points or training sample points. A typical use case is generating training samples from an existing source, such as a thematic raster or a feature class.
Inspect Training Samples	Estimates the accuracy of individual training samples. The cross validation accuracy is computed using the previously generated classification training result in an .ecd file and the training samples. Outputs include a raster dataset containing the misclassified class values and a training sample dataset with the accuracy score for each training sample.

This tool is helpful for some regional processes, such as image segmentation, that have inconsistencies near image tile boundaries. This processing step is included in the Segment Mean Shift tool. It should only be used on a segmented image that was not created from that tool.
