Abstract:

The Moorea Labeled Corals dataset is a subset of the MCR LTER packaged for computer vision research. It contains 2055 images from three habitats IDs: fringing reef outer 10m and outer 17m, from 2008, 2009 and 2010. It also contains random point annotation (row, col, label) for the nine most abundant labels, four non coral labels: (1) Crustose Coralline Algae (CCA), (2) Turf algae, (3) Macroalgae and (4) Sand, and five coral genera: (5) Acropora, (6) Pavona, (7) Montipora, (8) Pocillopora, and (9) Porites. These nine classes account for 96% of the annotations and total to almost 400,000 points. These nine classes are the ones analyzed in (Beijbom, 2012); less-abundant genera not treated in the automation are also present in the dataset.

These data were published in Beijbom O., Edmunds P.J., Kline D.I., Mitchell G.B., Kriegman D., 'Automated Annotation of Coral Reef Survey Images', IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), Providence, Rhode Island, 2012. [BibTex] [pdf]

These data are a subset of the raw data from which knb-lter-mcr.4 is derived.

This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 16-37396 (and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2018). This work represents a contribution of the Moorea Coral Reef (MCR) LTER Site.
