title: 'pointcoral: Local Point-Count Processing for Coral Photoquadrats'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: 'Imports Coral Point Count with Excel extensions (CPCe) point-count annotations
  and related exported tables, standardizes labels with a user-supplied crosswalk,
  creates ecological cover summaries, writes quality-control overlays, and exports
  machine-learning-ready point labels, image patches, sparse masks, and train/validation/test
  splits. The package is fully local and does not depend on third-party web platforms,
  user accounts, or other closed services. CPCe methods are described by Kohler and
  Gill (2006) "Coral Point Count with Excel extensions (CPCe): A Visual Basic program
  for the determination of coral and substrate coverage using random point count methodology"
