parallelepiped classifier or decision rule:� A simple form of automated computer interpretation slightly more complex than boxcar interpretation.� For parallelepiped classification, the boundaries between classes need not be rectangular or parallel to the axes.� A parallelepiped area representing the location of each material sought is prism-shaped in the 2-, 3-, or n-dimensional distribution of the available multivariable images.� (See also: boxcar classifier)
