Preserving marine biodiversity through AI-powered image segmentation and analysis.
Advanced segmentation for identifying and tracking coral species diversity
Our coral reef segmentation project leverages advanced computer vision techniques to identify, track, and analyze coral species in the Florida Keys. This data is crucial for marine conservation efforts and monitoring reef health over time.
Using state-of-the-art segmentation models to detect and isolate individual coral specimens within complex underwater imagery.
Gathering and preprocessing high-quality underwater imagery from various locations throughout the Florida Keys marine sanctuary.
Transforming visual data into ecological insights through metrics like species diversity, coverage area, and health indicators.
Coral reefs are among the most biodiverse and economically valuable ecosystems on Earth, but they face unprecedented threats from climate change, pollution, and physical damage.
Our AI-powered segmentation tools enable researchers and conservation organizations to:
We've implemented a cutting-edge computer vision pipeline based on the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) to achieve high-precision coral identification and segmentation.
Our implementation utilizes the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) with a Hiera Large backbone, pretrained on diverse image datasets and fine-tuned for underwater imagery.
Our pipeline enhances underwater imagery through histogram equalization, color normalization, and noise reduction to improve segmentation accuracy.
We employ multiple augmentation techniques including flips, rotations, and contrast adjustments to improve model robustness to varied conditions.
Initial bounding boxes are provided as prompts for the SAM2 model to generate precise segmentation masks for each coral specimen.
Advanced contour refinement and noise filtering ensure accurate boundary detection and eliminate segmentation artifacts in the final output.
Our segmentation model achieves state-of-the-art performance on coral identification, with detailed quantitative metrics showcasing accuracy across diverse species.
