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

Pacific Labeled Corals is an aggregate dataset containing 2318 coral reef survey images from four Pacific monitoring
projects in Moorea (French Polynesia), the northern Line Islands, Nanwan Bay (Taiwan) and Heron Reef (Australia).
Pacific Labeled Corals contain a total of 318828 expert annotations across 4 pacific reef locations, and can be used
as a benchmark dataset for evaluating object recognition methods and texture descriptors as well as for domain transfer
learning research. The images have all been annotated using a random point annotation tool by a coral reef expert.
In addition, 200 images from each location have been cross-annotatoed by 6 experts, for a total of 7 sets of annotations
for each image. These data will be published in Beijbom O., et al.,
'Transforming benthic surveys through automated image annotation' (in submission). These data are a subset of the raw data from which knb-lter-mcr.4 is derived.
