Imagery and oceanographic data were collected during the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2018_V06 from November 23 to December 19, 2018. The voyage, titled 'Status and recovery of deep-sea coral communities on seamounts in iconic Australian marine reserves,' used an MRI Towed camera (MRITC). Data includes video, stereo stills, and navigational data, aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Use Cases
- Assess coral community status and recovery on seamounts based on the collected imagery.
- Analyze benthic habitat composition and structure based on the video and stereo stills.
- Correlate biological observations with oceanographic conditions based on the mentioned oceanographic data.
- Train object detection models for marine species based on the underwater imagery.
Strengths
- Data collection occurred over a defined 27-day voyage from November 23 to December 19, 2018.
- Includes multiple data types: video, stereo stills, and navigational data.
- Imagery was collected using a specific instrument: the MRI Towed camera (MRITC).
