segmentation & masking
i’m learning how to do segmentation with SAM & cv2 in order to isolate the coral branching structures. the structures will be used to measure things like branching angle, thickness, ‘porosity,’ etc.

i realized that sam was not able to isolate from images where the coral had too much overlap, so i replaced the dataset with simpler, 1-piece-of-coral images. for more accuracy, i will be using point prompting
