== [Request for Changes - 90] Add vector classification application ==

=== Status === 

* Author: Marina Bertolino
* Submitted on dd.mm.yyyy
* Proposed target release 6.0
* [https://git.orfeo-toolbox.org/otb.git/shortlog/refs/heads/vector_classifier Vector classifier]

=== Summary ===

Add a new classification application allowing to classify a vector data. <br />
This application can take any model supported by OTB.

=== Rationale ===

Currently, the otbOGRLayerClassifier application allows to classify a vector data with a SVM model. <br />
Following the ask from different users, who wanted to classify vector data with other models that SVM model and make object classification.

=== Implementation details ===

It's a classification application which use vector data and expose all machin learning models. <br />
Limitation: Shapefiles are supported. But the SQLite format is only supported in update mode.
