pointcoral: Local Point-Count Processing for Coral Photoquadrats

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" <doi:10.1016/j.cageo.2005.11.009>.
