Title

A machine learning approach to the study of a red coral Corallium rubrum (L.)

Abstract

This study deals with the application of a machine learning algorithm (a classification tree) to assess the weight of Corallium rubrum (Cnidaria, Octocorallia) ramifications on the basis of the number of apices. Our approach can be easily applied to obtain in situ estimates of weight and basal diameter of colonies. Future developments include the integration with image acquisition and processing hardware.
