Keppel Islands Satellite Imagery and Habitat Maps from 2016-2019

A collection of A0 maps and source satellite imagery for the Keppel Island region, featuring blended high-resolution and Sentinel 2 data. The dataset includes fine-scale habitat mapping of islands and the marine environment, produced by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The source imagery was processed from manually selected clear-sky images captured between 2016 and 2019.

Use Cases

• Coastal habitat analysis based on fine-scale habitat mapping data.
• Satellite image compositing research based on the described manual blending of Sentinel 2 and high-resolution imagery.
• Marine feature visualization based on contrast-stretched imagery designed to highlight underwater details.
• Regional map reproduction based on the provided A0 maps and source PNG imagery.

Strengths

• Includes both final A0 map products and the source satellite imagery used to create them.
• Imagery blends 1-meter high-resolution detail with 10-meter Sentinel 2 data for full regional coverage.
• Sentinel 2 composite is derived from the clearest 10 images selected from a multi-year period (2016-2019).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The imagery is described as being for the sole purpose of reproducing the A0 maps, which may limit other applications.
