Hi Duane,

George Sedberry forwarded me your request for data.  I work with Charlie Barans on the annotation of the underwater camera video files.  I assume you want additional sample videos to see how compatible your annotation procedures are with the types of videos we collect?

Attached to this e-mail are two more "good" images, both with respect to water clarity and subject matter.  The first file contains four sandbar sharks, approximately 20 little tunny, and a host of small Carangid baitfish.  The second file contains about 50 tomtate that are readily visible, but also (1) a hovering formation of 5-10 barracuda down low to the ground and a larger fish (grouper or snapper) that swims past in the upper right corner.  

I will send a second e-mail with a few "bad" images...fouled windows, poor visibility, etc., but which contain very interesting/unusual subject matter.

Please let me know if you need additional videos,

Mike Arendt
