TagLab [2] is an interactive software system for facilitating the precise annotation of benthic species in orthophoto of the bottom of the sea. TagLab can automatically extract statistical informations about the evolution of monitored species and it offers many tools for segmenting large images using CNN-based algorithms.

Taglab is used in many marine research centers for the monitoring of coral reef like the MOTE Marine Laboratory[3], the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology[4], National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration[5], and Scripps Institution of Oceanography[6].

TagLab has won the 2023 VRVis Visual Computing Award [7] for being "an open-source software solution that mitigates technological disparities between labs and promotes shared data standards and protocols".
