Shaded value = in the CV mean (shade deepens with cover) Grey italic = shown for comparison but left out of the CV mean: the gold standard and manual CoralNet annotations (human reference values, not models), Coralscapes (not trusted), and any value that reuses the reference's own data n = frames behind the value — = not run or not applicable (see each region's notes) Site names and method names link out (new tab)

Notes for Chagos #2 2015 (12)
  • [a] Value read from cv_method_tables.json (injector output, generated 2026-09-28 22:33); the scope text there gives denominator and frame set.
  • [b] Gold = LOF in-water diver transect (Mayfield & Dempsey 2026, Oceans 7:1, suppl. S1): a different instrument, site-level only, never within 200 m of the frames.
  • [c] Anderson's own CoralNet points on the ground-truth frames at this site (30 − WATER − FISH, Unk kept).
  • [d] CoralNet robot labels (the cover set), same denominator.
  • [e] DINOv3 point predictions at the same CoralNet points (CRD AI/chagos_cv_2026-09/chagos_dinov3_point_predictions.csv, 2,500 frames).
  • [f] Coralscapes (v1 EPFL-ECEO/coralscapes-vit-b-dpt; v2 coralscapesv2-dinov3-vitb-lora-dpt) is not trusted (Anderson): shown, never averaged. Area fraction, not a point count.
  • [g] GENUINELY NOT RUN: only the EDITED website photos were staged for CoralSCOP (Chagos_coralscop_20260920, 2,498 ok); no unedited Chagos CoralSCOP run exists (wide search 2026-09-29).
  • [h] CoralSCOP = per-frame sum of colony-mask area fractions (zero-filled; overlapping masks double-count), averaged over frames with an ok row. Area index, not a point count: denominator differs from any point-count reference.
  • [i] Claude arm chagos_claude_arm COMPLETE (2,500/2,500 frames; 2,495 assigned to these 104 site rows): blind calls at 30 CoralNet points on the EDITED website photos, HC+BL / (30 − WATER − FISH), Unk kept.
  • Mean/Range: Mean ± SD and Range are over the CV cells that enter the mean (CoralNet where independent, DINOv3, CoralSCOP unedited/edited, Claude). Gold standard, frames manually annotated in CoralNet, Coralscapes and same-measurement cells are shown but never averaged (*).
  • Methods: Claude (Anthropic); DINOv3 (Meta; paper; used here as the frozen backbone of the in-house classifier); Coralscapes v1 and v2 (EPFL-ECEO; dataset paper, code); CoralSCOP (Zheng et al., CVPR 2024); CoralNet.
  • Sites: names drop the region prefix (hover for the full name) and link to the site's CRD page, or to the regional summary page where the site has none. Date = survey date from the map pins (first–last visit); sites are listed earliest first, undated sites last.
