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.本数据集包含通过拖曳式水下摄像系统在豪勋爵岛（Lord Howe Island）与巴拉斯金字塔（Balls Pyramid）岛架周边采集的2668张底栖生物分类数据。该批水下影像采集于2013年2月“南方考察者”号（RV Southern Surveyor）研究船的科考任务，以及2013年11月豪勋爵岛海洋公园“瓶鼻”号（Tursiops）科考船的科考任务，共覆盖39个水深6米至115米的采样站点。 本数据集发布的分类单元（taxa）已完成属级及以上阶元的分类定级。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）分类体系为标准，对水下影像中的海洋生物与物理特征进行分类定级。
