Abstract

Biologists collect and analyze phenomic (e.g., anatomical or non-genomic) data to discover relationships among species in the Tree of Life. Can computer vision techniques be applied to automate the scoring of characters - currently a time-consuming and largely manual process? We began exploring this question by assembling a matrix of characters, each character illustrated by images and scored by an expert. We then identified the computer vision problems to be solved, and developed and applied computer vision methods to these problems.

After assembling a data base that comprised characters from the entire skull, the team decided to concentrate on the identification of tooth loci (see MorphoBank project P834). However, the entire matrix had been expertly scored and annotated for 20 specimens each per 8 species. This project is archived here, available to other computer science teams for use in their research. Annotated skull images appear in the first row for each species. Questions concerning characters can be addressed to: simmons@amnh.org

This project was funded by an NSF grant (DEB-1208306) to Simmons, Cirranello, and Velazco.
