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2668幅经分类的底栖生物数据，这些数据源自拖曳式水下摄像系统在豪勋爵岛（Lord Howe Island）与巴尔斯金字塔（Balls Pyramid）周边陆架区域采集的2668幅静态图像。此次水下影像的采样站位共39个，水深范围为6米至115米，数据采集工作分别于2013年2月搭载"南方考察者号"（RV Southern Surveyor）科考船的调查任务，以及2013年11月豪勋爵岛海洋公园"瓶鼻号"（Tursiops）作业船的科考航行中完成。
本数据集发布的分类群分类精度均达到属级及以上水平。原始数据采用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）分类体系作为标准，对水下影像中的海洋生物与物理特征开展评分标注。
