<idPurp>The benthoscape map was produced using an unsupervised classification process (see below) with a 71% accuracy in classification according to in situ groundtruthed data.
</idPurp>
<idAbs>&lt;DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Classifications include: &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- Tidal Scoured Mixed Sediments (Glacial till - boulders or cobble with high roundness and low angularity)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- Mixed Sediments (Glacial Till - &amp;lt; 50% boulders or bedrock with mixed sediments of cobble, gravel and sand) &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- Gravelly Sand (Sand with 5–30% gravel)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- Sand (&amp;gt; 90% Sand)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- Silty Gravel with Anemones (&amp;gt; 50% gravel with silt and Anemones)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;- Silt (&amp;gt; 90% Silt) and Bedrock and Boulders (&amp;gt; 50% bedrock or boulders).&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Unsupervised classification process is as follows:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;1. Image objects were produced using eCognition software (segmentation layer found in the UnsupervisedClassification_shapefiles/Segmentation_eCognition) using bathymetry and backscatter only.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;2. Fuzzy c-means algorithm was applied (using PPCLUST package in R) to the segmentation layer and environmental variables to get acoutic classes (#1-14 - number of clusters were optimized at 14). &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;3. Bottom types from in-situ video were classified using a benthoscape classification method. 10 images at 10 meter intervals from each station were extracted and analysed.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;4. Benthoscape classes from groundtruthed video data were then matched to the acoustic classes in an error matrix. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>
