I have used the i.smap classifier on BW imagery with good results. I
was after open and closed canopy, but included a third "shadow" class
for the small shadows cast by the taller trees to pick up the
"outlier" pixels. If you can delineate some of your "outlier" regions
in your training map, it may be possible to discriminate between your
real classes and the new outlier class.

good luck,

Dylan
