GPS position is G2 quality (<0.4-0.5m XYZ in realtime equiv. RTK) and is relative to the vessels Centre of Mass (reference frame 0:0:0) with a 2.4m forward offset (X = -1.5) from transceiver to COM entered in the USBL software (Y = 0). USBL heading offset is checked following each installation (nominally 23 degrees from centreline) and USBL (Tracklink, USA) precision is 3 degrees of slant range value. Original still image time-stamping is synched with computer UTC (<1s) but image naming convention utilises USBL/Video text feed based on POS MV time ss:mm:hh dd:mm:yyyy (UTC) output. The Tracklink USBL system suffers from drop outs (noise, power) for fish positioning and so when dropouts occurred the following protocol was followed when processing and interpolating positioning data: 1. Extract raw USBL data and partition into transects: interpolate (running average) where gaps are <10s: marked as FLAG 1 in the metadata file; 2. Extract GPS and Fish position (and other data) aligned with timestamps for each image (image to USBL time offset <1s);  3. Import ship and fish positions into Arc, then identify outlier points using 4m radius filter for successive UBSL fish position fixes; delete values and interpolate (running average) where gap is <10s; mark as FLAG 1 in metadata file. 4. Determine a median and SD of layback for true fish fixes and generate new fish position values over periods of <120s; mark as FLAG 2; 5) Use difference in GPS ship position (no gaps) from one point to the next and apply the same offset to the position of the last known USBL fish-position fix; Where gaps are >10s and as calculation of the new fish position relies on the last fish position there is likely to be an increase in positional error for the assumed fish-position over time. To rectify this, we applied an incremental (linear) offset/adjustment to ensure that the end of the \u2018drop-out\u2019 period aligned with next available USBL fish position in the sequence (i.e. when USBL positioning returned); marked as FLAG 3.", "type": "mdq:DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy"}, {"date": "2020-07-16", "details": "No non-quantitative attributes are provided here", "type": "mdq:DQ_NonQuantitativeAttributeCorrectness"}], "extras": [{"key": "syndicated_id", "value": "66ab1fa5-444c-474c-a449-d6aa0ec1de5f"}], "resources": [{"cache_last_updated": null, "cache_url": null, "created": "2025-10-23T00:58:22.935180", "datastore_active": false, "datastore_contains_all_records_of_source_file": false, "description": "Data quality statement for NESP Biodiversity Hub Hunter Marine Park Towed Video Imagery", "format": "PDF", "hash": "", "id": "e018b798-3ddd-4255-8f74-0f05329f9226", "last_modified": null, "metadata_modified": "2025-10-23T00:58:22.901860", "mimetype": null, "mimetype_inner": null, "name": "Data Quality Statement", "package_id": "93cdf2b7-b6a4-4d26-ad71-70b4c2edd20c", "position": 0, "resource_type": null, "size": null, "state": "active", "url": "https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/opendata/dataset/nesp-biodiversity-hub-nsw-dpie-hunter-marine-park-towed-video-imagery/resource/data_quality_report/pdp", "url_type": null}], "tags": [{"display_name": "MARINE-Biology", "id": "9d516f11-8fa6-43d2-aeff-3fd1be905793", "name": "MARINE-Biology", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "MARINE-Coasts", "id": "3ce2fe4f-fdcd-4ea5-b191-20ea81240ebc", "name": "MARINE-Coasts", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "MARINE-Reefs", "id": "73232822-dcb9-4984-b64b-85a2c6c46087", "name": "MARINE-Reefs", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Marine conservation", "id": "cf232739-11ce-4d56-bbca-cf084aa14b3f", "name": "Marine conservation", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "PHOTOGRAPHY-AND-IMAGERY-Remote-Sensing", "id": "20f23601-60ed-46eb-ad4f-340bb4330dd2", "name": "PHOTOGRAPHY-AND-IMAGERY-Remote-Sensing", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "baseline", "id": "3b9fde8d-d69a-42cb-8532-342d5bf6c66d", "name": "baseline", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "monitoring", "id": "d1298055-f8e2-47b4-b5fa-cccceeaa99fc", "name": "monitoring", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}], "vector_spatial_representation": [{"count": 7279, "type": "point"}], "groups": [], "relationships_as_subject": [], "relationships_as_object": []}}
