Included here are 40 video files in .mpg format and an Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) shapefile with location (navigation) points every two seconds. Purpose: The imagery was collected to improve seafloor characterization and for the development and groundtruthing of benthic habitat maps.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Data are logically accurate Completeness_Report: Data represent ground conditions of Faga'alu Bay only along individual tracklines where data were collected. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The position of the data reflect the position of the GPS antenna on board the boat when data were collected and not the real location of the camera in the water. Positional data in this report were not corrected for layback and thus represent only approximate locations. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has either not been conducted, or is not applicable. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Video footage was collected using two platforms and two camera systems. On 04-06 March 2014 imagery was collected using a GoPro Hero 3 camera from a fixed mount on a Boston Whaler. Data were collected while underway, typically in water depths greater than 5 meters, in conjunction with the collection of bathymetry and backscatter data.Footage collected on 06 March between 20:38 and 23:04 was collected from the Boston Whaler using a towed camera system called the MiniBOBSled. This system, developed at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, has a Sony FCB-H11 block camera which transmits full resolution high definition video (1920x1080i) to the surface via a fiber-optic connection. Footage collected on 07-08 March 2014 was collected using the GoPro Hero 3 from a fixed mount on a kayak. Both systems made use of a VMS200, a commercially available device from Red Hen Systems, LLC, to encode GPS data on the left audio track of the video as it is recorded. By encoding the real-time GPS data on the video's audio track the spatial locations of the video can be extracted, or indexed, using Red Hen System's proprietary software Media Mapper. Process_Date: 20140308 Process_Step: Process_Description: Video was edited to remove footage where imagery was poor and/or no benthic cover type could be determined. It was color corrected using an automatic white balance filter. Process_Date: 20150218 Process_Step: Process_Description: Processed video was indexed using Red Hen Systems MediaMapper to create a navigation trackpoint shapefile for each video file. Individual shapefiles were merged into a single navigation file and attributes added and deleted to produce the final shapefile. Process_Date: 20150821 Process_Step: Process_Description: Keywords section of metadata edited for consistency across the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center and to further optimize discovery in search engines and data catalogs. Metadata was modified to bring up to current USGS PCMSC standards. Minor typos were corrected. No data information was changed.
