COVER software for video annotation
2010
Carré, Cyril
The meeting in Milan also provided the opportunity for specific workshops advancing the development of both a standard CoralFISH seafloor habitat classification scheme with common vocabulary, and associated tools and methodologies for habitat characterization. Although this work is still in progress, it represents the first European wide effort to define a comprehensive standardised protocol for habitat characterization in the deep sea. One of the most important tools being developed is an open source software called COVER (Customizable Video Image Observation Record) to facilitate a standard annotation of sea floor video. This will facilitate capture of all the key data attributes required for robust habitat characterization. A full day of the Milan meeting was devoted to an explanation and hands-on demonstration of the software (above).Cyril Carre (IFREMER) demonstrating the COVER software during the video annotation workshop and tutorial in Milan.
