SBC LTER: REEF: Annual benthic transect photo quad

This dataset is produced by analyzing nearly 1800 images in a cloud-based image analysis platform ViQi. The images were collected in SBC LTER’s long term benthic monitoring transects. This addition to our cloud environment will continue to improve our visual and interactive Connoisseur models. This project aims to contribute images and corresponding taxa to cloud-based image analysis system. We also compare the difference between benthic survey conducted by divers and using photo-quad imagery analysis. The images in this data set were collected during LTER’s 2018 benthic survey period. This data package includes two data tables: 1) percent cover of invertebrates, algae and fish from all of the SBC LTER’s benthic transects, as well as image location and water depth 2) the images download links for all images used in the analysis.
