STRATAFORM 95 IMAGES CD-ROM This compact disk contains digital versions of images collected using a Benthos model 3731 sediment profiling camera and a Benthos model 372A Edgerton deep-sea standard camera at a study site off Eureka, California, USA in December, 1995. The file "stations.txt" is an ASCII text file containing logistical data for the camera deployments and position data for VIMS', University of Washington's, and USGS tripods which were deployed in the area. The directory "st95imag" has two subdirectories: "eps" and "jpg". The "jpg" directory contains relatively small image files (approximately 200Kbytes each) which are stored in JPEG format. The "eps" directory contains large (approximately 7Mbytes each) EPS (encapsulated post-script) versions of the same images. Images are labelled by their station number, replicate (technically deployment) number, orientation (p for profile, s for surface), and a file format suffix. e.g.: 1-1p.jpg == Station 1 - Deployment 1 Profile . JPEG format The images were digitized using a Canon Fiery scanner by V.I.M.S. Publications Center and stored initially as the EPS files. All of the files are in their original, preprocessed state, except for some which were cropped outside the region of the image where sediment was visible (i.e. above the sediment-water interface in the profile images) in order to reduce memory space required to store them. Unexpected and unnatural overall coloration of the sediments is generally a result of the photographic film used (Kodachrome 25 and Fujichrome 100) and film processing. Digital image processing techniques are used to eliminate that systematic corruption before analyses are done.
