Surface sediment grain diameter measurements from point counts of in situ seafloor images collected in the lower Columbia River, Washington and Oregon, 2021

Description

This dataset contains surface sediment grain diameter measurements from in situ seafloor images collected in the lower Columbia River, Washington and Oregon, in 2021. Surface sediment grain diameters were derived from manual measurements (or "point counts") in a subset of images used to calibrate and validate an automated image processing algorithm to determine surface sediment grain size distributions. For each calibration and validation image that was selected, the long and short axis of 100 grains were manually measured. The grain diameter measurements are provided in comma-separated (.csv) format and compressed into separate .zip archives for images used for calibration and validation of the automated image processing technique.
