🌊 Reef Support
We at Reef Support are dedicated to providing cutting-edge tools and technologies to support marine conservation efforts around the globe. Our mission is to protect and restore marine ecosystems using innovative AI-driven solutions. One key aspect is coral segmentation, which we integrate into our **MariMap** application to empower marine biologists and conservationists with accurate and efficient coral reef analysis.
CoralSCOP: Segment Any Coral Image on this Planet
**GitHub** | **Project page** | **Paper**
CoralSCOP is the first foundation model for coral reef segmentation. It builds upon Segment Anything Model (SAM) but addresses the semantic-agnostic limitations and includes additional training data & strategies for underwater coral scenes. This powerful model will be made available through Reef Support’s MariMap application, enhancing our ability to analyze coral reefs worldwide.
Model Weights
- Checkpoint:
vit_b_coralscop.pth(ViT-B backbone)
Main Features
- Parallel semantic branch: better ability to differentiate coral vs. non-coral, individual coral boundaries, coral species, etc.
- Train with negatives: reduce false positives in large-scale underwater imagery.
- Promptable reef segmentation: can accept point, box, or text prompts to refine or specify the target coral classes.
