'''CPCe (Coral Point Count with Excel extensions)''' is [[Windows (operating system)|Windows-based]] [[software]] that provides a tool for the determination of [[coral]] cover using [[transect]] photographs. A specified number of spatially random points are distributed on a quadrat image, and coral [[species]] lying under these points are identified. [[Microsoft Excel]] [[spreadsheet]]s can be created automatically to further analyze the data. Users can create their own customized code files pertinent to their [[region of interest]].

Additionally, CPCe can be used for image calibration and area analysis of [[Benthic zone|benthic features]]. Excel sheets are automatically generated to summarize the area calculations for each image.

There are an estimated 3,500 users of CPCe worldwide. CPCe is provided by the National [[Coral Reef]] Institute as [[freeware]] to researchers from [[scientific institution]]s.
