Surface sediment grain size distributions derived from manual point counts of in situ seafloor images from the lower Columbia River, Washington and Oregon, 2021

Description This dataset contains surface sediment grain size distributions derived from manual point counts of in situ seafloor images obtained with an underwater camera system in the lower Columbia River, Washington and Oregon, in 2021. The distributions derived from manual point counts were compared with results from an automated image processing technique to calibrate and validate the automated method used to quantify surface sediment grain size distributions in objective images. The surface sediment grain size distribution data derived from manual point counts are provided in comma-separated text format (point_count_distributions.csv) and should be compared with grain size distributions for the same set of images (dgs_calibration_validation.csv) derived from automated image processing that can be found in the "Surface sediment grain size distributions derived from automated image processing of in situ seafloor images from the lower Columbia River, Washington and Oregon, 2021" portion of the overall data release.
