Abstract:

TAMU-CAM is a pair of high-speed high-resolution cameras that will be mounted on a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and used to take stereoscopic images of natural gas seeps at the sea floor in the Gulf of Mexico. This data set contains images of rising bubbles chains for various cases of bubble release frequency and flow rates.
