Detailed description

* |OVP_DocBegin_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Description|
The Classifier Processor box is a generic box for classifying data (feature vectors).
It works in conjunction with the \ref Doc_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierTrainer box.
This box' role is to expose a generic interface to the rest of the BCI pipeline. The
vectors to classify are forwarded to an algorithm or a structure of algorithms depending on what is
described in the loaded configuration file. The behavior is simple: at initialization phase, the classification
structure is initialized and its configuration is loaded from the configuration file. Then each time this box
receives a new feature vector, it is forwarded to the classification algorithm that classifies it. The box gets the algorithm
status and the actual class value and translates this information to its output. The predicted class is sent out in
the form of a stimulation and the algorithm status is sent in the form a streamed matrix. The stimulation can be generically
interpreted by the rest of the pipeline but it is important to understand that each classification algorithm is
free to report whatever it wants in its "status matrix". Consequently, the use of this output stream will be
dependent on the chosen classification algorithm. For example, the LDA classifier sends the hyperplane distance
value as its status.

Inputs description
__________________________________________________________________
* |OVP_DocBegin_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Inputs|
* |OVP_DocEnd_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Inputs|
* |OVP_DocBegin_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Input1|
This input should be connected to the feature vector stream to classify. Each time a new feature vector arrives,
a classification process will be triggered. Consequently, a classification stimulation will be sent on the
first output of this box.

Outputs description
__________________________________________________________________
* |OVP_DocBegin_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Outputs|
* |OVP_DocEnd_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Outputs|
* |OVP_DocBegin_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Output1|
This output will contain the classification stimulations. Each time a new feature vector arrives to this box,
a new classification process is triggered, resulting in the generation of the corresponding class stimulation.
* |OVP_DocEnd_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Output1|
* |OVP_DocBegin_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Output2|
This output reflects the classification algorithm status in the form of a matrix of value. This output will contain one or several distances
to an hyperplane if the classifier provide it. If not, the matrix will have 0 dimension. The format of this output directly depend on
the classification algorithm and of the strategy used by the processor box.
* |OVP_DocEnd_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Output2|
*
* |OVP_DocBegin_BoxAlgorithm_ClassifierProcessor_Output3|
This output reflects the classification algorithm status in the form of a matrix of value. This output will contains one or several probabilities
for a data to be on a class if the classifier provide it. If not, the matrix will have 0 dimension. The format of this output directly depend on
the classification algorithm and of the strategy used by the processor box.
