A Standardised Vocabulary for Identifying Benthic Biota and Substrata from Underwater Imagery: The CATAMI Classification Scheme
Fig 1
Overview of the coarsest levels of the CATAMI Classification Scheme for (a) physical and (b) biological annotations in imagery; (c) and (d) show details of the ‘bryozoa’ and the ‘echinoderms’ branches.
The biological classification at coarsest level is into phyla or broad groups, which are then divided using either taxonomy or morphology (as shown here), depending on what can be more consistently determined from imagery. The number of categories (C) and levels (L) defined under each branch are shown. The full classification scheme can be viewed at http://www.catami.org/classification [53].
