Abstract:
The data are counts of megafaunal specimens in seabed photographs captured with a Teledyne Gavia autonomous underwater vehicle deployed from the RRS James Cook in May 2019 at a site in UK sector of the Central North Sea (Connelly, 2019), as part of the Strategies for Environmental Monitoring of Marine Carbon Capture and Storage (STEMM-CCS) project. The seabed photographs were captured using a GRAS-14S5M-C camera with a Tamron TAM 23FM08-L lens mounted to the Gavia autonomous underwater vehicle. The camera captured photographs at a temporal frequency of 1.875 frames per second, a resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels, and at a target altitude of 2 m above the seafloor. Overlapping photos were removed. Megafaunal specimens (>1 cm) in the non-overlapping images were detected using the MAIA machine learning algorithm in BIIGLE. The potential specimens detected using this method were reviewed to remove false positives and classified into morphotypes manually. Counts by morphotype, latitude and longitude (in degrees), camera altitude (m above seafloor) and seabed area (m2) are provided for each photo. The following additional unchecked raw data are also provided: date, time, AUV mission number, and AUV heading, pitch, and roll.
