Full description
This data set contains the imagery collected on the Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Investigator voyage IN2018_V06, titled "Status and recovery of deep-sea coral communities on seamounts in iconic Australian marine reserves." The voyage took place from Hobart (TAS) to Hobart between November 23 and December 19, 2018, collecting imagery of benthic habitats together with oceanographic data.Instrument(s) used to collect this data:
MRI Towed camera (MRITC)
Datasets include:
Video (oblique forward view)
Stereo stills (oblique forward view)
Navigational data
Lineage: The imagery was collected using the CSIRO 'Marine Resources and Industry' developed Towed camera (MRITC) system that simultaneously collects oblique forward-facing video (camera: SVY) and stereo still images (cameras SCP (port) and SCS (starboard)). Calibration of the stereo cameras was done in SEAGIS software and can be made available upon request.
The imagery was processed with Marimba v1.1.0. [https://github.com/csiro-fair/marimba]
File naming convention: CameraPlatform_Camera_Survey_Deployment_YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ_image#
GIS location of the camera system, and depth (as positive 'altitude') was added to the EXIF data of still images. In addition, camera location data at 1-second intervals for video and by image-pair for stills are provided in .csv format.
