This dataset includes underwater photos and video frames, along with corresponding annotations of benthic substrates and communities, and their metadata collected around Madeline Island and Gull Island Shoal, Lake Superior. Underwater imagery was collected using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) led by Michigan Technological University (MTU), and a drop camera led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Great Lakes mapping cruise GL-23-01 from June 20 to August 4, 2023 (Menza et al. 2024). Additionally, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) was used on an AUV cruise led by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from May 6 to June 5, 2024, and by an ROV cruise led by Northwestern Michigan College and the National Park Service from July 10 to July 11, 2024. Imagery data were processed and annotated using a computer vision platform called Tator, developed by CVision AI, Inc. The annotations recorded benthic habitat features, substrates, and biological communities observed in the imagery. The time frame of this accession ranges from the beginning of data collection to the end of data processing, including quality control.
