Description:
Abstract:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a geophysical and sampling survey in October 2014 that focused on a series of shoreface-attached ridges offshore of western Fire Island, NY. Seismic-reflection data, surficial grab samples and bottom photographs and video were collected along the lower shoreface and inner continental shelf. The purpose of this survey was to assess the impact of Hurricane Sandy on this coastal region. These data were compared to seismic-reflection and surficial sediment data collected by the USGS in the same area in 2011 to evaluate any post-storm changes in seabed morphology and modern sediment thickness on the inner continental shelf. For more information about the WHCMSC Field Activity, see: https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-009-FA.
Purpose:
This dataset is used to display the images and locations of bottom photographs acquired with a GoPro Hero 3+ Black on a modified SEABed OBservation and Sampling System (SEABOSS) collected during a 2014 USGS cruise along Fire Island, New York. The information contained within the bottom photographs is needed to validate geophysical data. This dataset contains seabed images from each bottom photograph station, as well as location in Geographic coordinates (WGS84), time of day and date of collection. Physical sediment samples, which provide additional information about the seabed, were also collected at photograph stations and analyzed in the sediment laboratory at the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (see shapefile 2014-009-FA_samples.shp available from the larger work citation).

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The GoPro Hero 3+ black camera used on the modified SEABOSS acquired photos at 8 Megapixels; file sizes are generally between 1 and 2 MB on disc. Image quality and photo interval was reduced for Hero 3+ to allow space on camera card for bottom video.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Gaps in sequential photo numbers exist. Generally, photos without a clear view of the sea floor were deleted. If the camera was triggered accidentally on deck or the picture did not come out, it was deleted. Every effort was made to keep a least one photo from each sampler deployment. For some sampling sites, only a blurry image of the sea floor or an image with significant suspended sediment that masked the sea floor, was available. Despite the low image quality, these images were included in the dataset. Suspended sediment in a photograph may be used as a proxy for surficial sediment grain-size when used in conjunction with other data such as co-located video; however in these cases, the analyses of co-located sediment samples provide reliable sediment grain-size data (see shapefile in this data release, 2014-009-FA_samples.shp).
Completeness_Report:
This dataset includes bottom photographs in JPEG format and a shapefile of the locations of photographs collected during USGS survey 2014-009-FA aboard the M/V Scarlett Isabella off of Fire Island, New York. Twenty-five sampling sites were occupied within the study area using a modified SEABOSS. Station 18 does not have a corresponding bottom photograph. Bottom photographs taken in the water column, on deck or otherwise not useful for seafloor characterization were deleted. In general, at least one photograph was included for each site where the sea floor or suspended sediment at the sea floor is visible in the image. A total of 59 photographs are included in this dataset, so several sites had more than one photograph from that general location. Photos published here were from the GoPro Hero3+ Black. Images from an secondary camera (GoPro Hero 2) served as a backup and were not processed.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The original JPEG photographs alone do not represent spatial data, however post-processing the photographs with the navigation data and survey notes provides a link to spatially locate the imagery. Navigation for survey 2014-009-FA used Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS) and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). The recorded position of each photo is actually the position of the GPS antenna on the survey vessel, not the SEABOSS sampler. The SEABOSS was deployed approximately 5 meters astern of the RTK-GPS antenna for samples 1 through 19, and approximately 3 meters astern of the DGPS antenna for samples 20 through 25. Throughout the sampling the SEABOSS was deployed off the ship's A-frame on the stern of the ship. No layback or offset was applied to the recorded position. In addition to the +/- 3 to 5 meter offset the SEABOSS may drift away from the survey vessel when deployed. Based on the various sources for horizontal offsets, a conservative estimate of the horizontal accuracy of the bottom photograph locations is 20-30 meters.

Source_Contribution:
The SEABed Observation and Sampling System (SEABOSS) was designed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for rapid and effective collection of seabed images and sediment samples in coastal regions. The observations from video and still cameras and the sediment data are used to explore the nature of the seafloor and, in conjunction with high-resolution geophysical data, to make interpretive maps of sedimentary environments and validate the acoustic remote sensing data. This particular setup of the SEABOSS was simplified using the modified Van Veen sediment sampler and only GoPro cameras and dive lights to collect sea floor photographs and video without a top-side live video feed. No depth sensor was on the system. In general, the SEABOSS is a simple system that can be deployed from both small and large surface vessels and operates in water depths up to 200m. It typically incorporates two video cameras, a still camera, a depth sensor, and a modified Van Veen sediment sampler. The elements of this particular SEABOSS system are held within a stainless steel framework that measures 1.1 x 1.1 meters and weighs 167 kilograms overall. The frame has a stabilizer fin that orients the system as it drifts over the seabed. The SEABOSS was deployed from the M/V Scarlett Isabella off the ship's A-frame on the stern of the ship. The vessel occupied one of the target stations and deployed the SEABOSS. The winch operator lowered the sampler until the seafloor was sampled. On most stations, the vessel and sampler drifted with wind and current for a few tens of seconds to let the bottom settle and ensure a decent image. The system was then raised and recovered to the deck of the survey vessel. The camera time during this survey was set to UTC; calibration photographs with the navigation system indicate that the time offset only drifted by up to 13 seconds throughout the survey and this time offset was not corrected for during processing.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Twenty-five stations were occupied aboard the M/V Scarlett Isabella (USGS survey 2014-009-FA) with a modified SEABOSS (Blackwood and Parolski, 2001) that was equipped with a Van Veen grab sampler and two GoPro cameras (Hero 3+ Black, and Hero2) collecting video and photographs. JPEG photographs were acquired at each station. (NO quality images were acquired at sample location 18). The digital photographs were downloaded from the camera and backed-up to a laptop and hard-drive periodically during the sampling survey. The original JPEG photographs alone do not represent spatial data, however, post-processing the photographs with the navigation data and survey notes makes the link to spatially locate the imagery. The link is possible because the JPEG photographs EXIF header records acquisition time which can be matched with corresponding time in the navigation logs. However, camera time drift and the precision with which the camera time can be set often results in an offset. In this case, the offset was negligible, ranging from 5 and 13 seconds off of real GPS time, therefore no offset correction was applied to the photographs in this dataset. Only the photos from the primary camera, the GoPro Hero 3+ Black were processed and are being published. This process step and all subsequent process steps were performed by the same person - Seth Ackerman

Process_Description:
The GoPro photographs were culled to remove photos during deployment and recovery of the SEABOSS including images of the water column and those on the deck of the survey vessel. Blurry or otherwise not clear images of the sea floor were removed (unless no other clear image of the sea floor was available). Then a series of PYTHON scripts (SEABOSStools) was run to match up the quality photos with the navigation log. (1) parseHYPACKfolder_gui_sort_all.py - PYTHON script that parses HYPACK navigation data files and outputs formatted UTC time, date, latitude and longitude from the appropriate source GPS device. (2) JPEG_exifextract_gui_sort.py - PYTHON script that extracts the EXIF header information from each photograph including the JPEG filename, date and time. (3) photo_locs_gui_5_4exif.py - PYTHON script that matches up the corresponding date and times from the formatted output of the previous two PYTHON scripts. A time offset, if any, would be applied while running script. The output of this is the location shapefile for the bottom photographs including a comma-delimited text file (CSV) with the fields filename, UTC date, UTC time, latitude and longitude.

A PYTHON script (UpdatePhotoEXIFv3b.py) was then run that incorporated the matched up location data, along with additional survey information, into the appropriate locations in the EXIF header of each JPEG image. The PYTHON script uses exiftool (version 10.47) to write the information to the image headers. The following tags were populated in the JPEG image headers. Information is duplicated in some tags. This was done because different software packages access different tags.GPS tags: The values populated are unique for each image and based on the information from the process of pairing the photo with locations in the navigation logfiles.

If the camera time were X seconds behind the GPS time, a positive offset of +X would be applied. If the camera were Y seconds ahead of the GPS time, a negative office of -Y would be applied.
