ROV Imagery from the Gascoyne Marine Park, 20 Dives

Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) imagery collected from within the Gascoyne Marine Park offshore northwestern Australia. The ROV SuBastian conducted 20 dives across 16 stations, including 12 quantitative 500-meter transects within the Cape Range Canyon. Still images were acquired every 5 seconds using a 4K UHD deep-sea camera and were annotated using the SQUIDLE+ platform.

Use Cases

• Classifying benthic species and habitats based on high-resolution 4K still images.
• Analyzing seafloor composition and structure from quantitative 500-meter transects.
• Studying environmental gradients using sensor data for temperature, depth, conductivity, and oxygen collected during dives.
• Training computer vision models for automated annotation of marine imagery using the SQUIDLE+ annotation framework.

Strengths

• Includes 12 quantitative transects, each 500 meters long, providing structured sampling.
• Imagery captured with a 4K UHD deep-sea camera, suggesting high visual detail.
• Sensor data for temperature, depth, conductivity, and oxygen is likely collected alongside imagery.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• No quantitative transects were conducted in the Cloates Canyon due to poor weather, limiting geographic coverage.
