(Version 1.0) [Data set]. NERC EDS UK Polar Data Centre. https://doi.org/10.5285/276367fa-03dd-4c80-9f7b-7652eb1664d9 This annotated dataset comprises locational data of wandering albatrosses at colonies on Bird Island and Annenkov Island in South Georgia, Apotres in the Crozet Islands and Grande Coulee on the west coast of Kerguelen Island. Albatrosses were detected from Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery, which was acquired on the following dates: - Bird Island: January 10th, 2015 - Annenkov: February 3rd, 2017 - Apotres: March 3rd, 2017 - Grande Coulee: March 16th, 2017. Images were manually scanned and albatrosses detected through the use of grids. An experienced observer ('reference count') and five novice volunteers (observers 1-5) annotated the satellite images to assess interobserver variation. Scanning was carried out by collaborators and volunteers of the Albatrosses from Space project. Additional metadata includes information on image type and model, and image acquisition location. This dataset supports the advancement of remote monitoring for a vulnerable seabird species. This research was funded by the Natural Environment Reseach Council through the NEXUSS CDT, grant number NE/N012070/1, titled 'Automated UAV and Satellite Image Analysis for Wildlife Monitoring.'

Single points were placed on the albatrosses, and the attribute table was filled out to contain information on the image type and model, and the location of the seabird colony. The images were manually labelled using separate polygons approximately matching the size of the monitor (160 × 260 m for viewing at a 1:600 scale). Labelling was carried out by one experienced observer ('reference count') and five novice volunteers (observers 1-5), assessing interobserver variation. For additional details on attribute table definitions, please refer to the README affiliated with the shapefile data. For each annotated albatross, there is information about the imagery analysed: the location, latitude and longitude (in decimal degrees and recorded using the same geographic coordinate system and projection as the satellite imagery), imagery ID, imagery date, type of satellite, spatial resolution, number of multispectral bands, product level and type (e.g., Standard2A). The datasets are in the following projections: Bird Island: WGS 1984 UTM Zone 24S Annenkov: WGS 1984 UTM Zone 24S Apotres: WGS 1984 UTM Zone 39S Grande Coulee: WGS 1984 UTM Zone 42S Data collection: The datasets were annotated using ArcMap 10.5 software and the satellite images were pansharpened using the Gram-Schmidt algorithm. Data quality: The satellite images were pansharpened using the Gram-Schmidt algorithm. The attribute table includes fields to specify the satellite image metadata. Please refer to the README associated with the data for details. For Apotres Islands, there is no experienced observer shapefile. asNeeded completed
