Use of a Remote Operated Vehicle and Sonar to Characterize and Estimate the Distribution of Benthic Vegetation in Waldo Lake, Oregon
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Bryophytes that occur in Waldo Lake, Oregon were video-documented and their distribution estimated with sonar. In August 1990, the in situ growth form of the plants was directly observed for the first time using a remote operated vehicle (ROV). Specific growth form of the plants ranged from relatively uniform stand heights (0.25 to 1.0 m) within patches to moderately isolated forms best described as twisted “windrows” or “whorls.” The diameter of the whorls ranged from approximately 0.25 to 0.75 m in diameter and from 5 to 15 m in length. The whorl form was typically in association with patch edges. Plants were found at depths of 128 m (the maximum depth of the lake) and to an upper depth limit of approximately 40 m. The maximum distribution of plants was estimated at 48.9% of the lake area. The use of direct ROV video observation, combined with the sonar, proved to be an acceptable first step in qualitatively describing plant growth and estimating benthic vegetation distribution within the lake.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
