Seafloor Explorer. The Science of Seafloor Explorer HabCam (Habitat Mapping Camera System) HabCam is a cabled optical and acoustic imaging system that is "flown" from a ship traveling at 5 kts at an altitude of 1 to 3 meters off the bottom at depths to 250m while collecting high resolution still images at a rate of six images per second.

Imaging at this rate provides ~50% overlap to allow for construction of image mosaics of the seafloor. A track approximately 100 nautical miles in length and 259,200 m2 in area is imaged each 24 hour day while at sea. Over 30 million images (>30 TB) have been collected in less than one year of sea time, which demonstrates how quickly this quantity of data can accumulate. Fauna, flora, benthic maps and more Enter Seafloor Explorer The data now exist to answer such ecologically critical questions, but it is buried in hundreds of TBs of images that need to be processed through a defined and scalable pipeline of tools.
