MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Computer Vision: Moorea Labeled Corals

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.
