The associated BHIMAGE data base records associated geo-location data and image annotations. Image data (video and stills) in this collection are from deep continental shelf and upper slope benthic habitats. Image collection was enabled by the development of deep towed video systems since the late 1990's (Bax & Williams 1999; Shortis et al. 2008). An evolving but nonetheless standardized annotation methodology annotation physical structures (substrate and geomorphology) and biota has been used for surveys since 2000 (Kloser et al 2004). The data-base retains annotations in the original scoring schemes and translations between schemes including to the CATAMI classification scheme are documented. Video and still-image data can be accessed via the AODN Portal (refer to link below), select "Observation Data", then "CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere", click on the "CMAR Instruments" and lastly: "CMAR Video Tows - all voyages", the image below illustrates how to reach this dataset. Note that this is subject to change when the CMAR tag is replaced by the new O&A. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[111.0, -44.6], [151.0, -44.6], [151.0, -11.55], [111.0, -11.55], [111.0, -44.6]]]} 111.0 151.0 -44.6 -11.55 Data Link documentDigital Station Locations Available via the AODN Portal (Image archives not yet available) HTML Documentation Link documentDigital jpg image of AODN showing how to access the video tows data (CSIRO link) HTML Documentation Link documentDigital jpg image of AODN showing how to access the video tows data (MNF link) HTML
