Classified benthic data for mesophotic organisms and substrates around the Lord Howe Island and Balls Pyramid shelves, southwest Pacific Ocean (2013)

This dataset contains classified benthic data from 2,668 still images collected using a towed underwater camera system around the Lord Howe Island and Balls Pyramid shelves. Underwater imagery were collected at 39 sites in depths ranging 6 m to 115 m from surveys aboard the RV Southern Surveyor in February 2013 and Lord Howe Island Marine Park vessel Tursiops in November 2013. The data published here is the taxa classified to genus level or better. The original data has been classified using the Collaborative and Annotation Tools for Analysis of Marine Imagery and Video (CATAMI) classification scheme as a standard for scoring marine biota and physical characteristics from underwater imagery.

本数据集包含采自豪勋爵岛与巴尔斯金字塔周边陆架的2668幅静态水下图像的已分类底栖数据。本次水下调查于2013年2月搭载“南方考察者号”（RV Southern Surveyor）研究船、2013年11月搭载豪勋爵岛海洋公园“宽吻海豚号”作业船开展，共在39个站位完成数据采集，站位水深范围为6米至115米。本数据集发布的分类群（taxa）均达到属级及以上分类精度。原始数据以海洋影像与视频分析协作标注工具（Collaborative and Annotation Tools for Analysis of Marine Imagery and Video，CATAMI）分类方案为标准，对水下图像中的海洋生物群系与物理特征进行分类标注。
