  abstract = {Digital image processing provides powerful tools for fast and precise
	analysis of large image data sets in marine and geoscientific applications.
	Facing the increasing amount of georeferenced image and video data
	acquired by underwater platforms such as Remotely Operated Vehicles
	(ROVs), means of automatic analysis of the acquired image data are
	required. A new and fast developing application is the combination
	of video imagery and mosaicking techniques for seafloor habitat mapping.
	In this article we introduce an approach for fully automatic detection
	and quantification of Pogonophora coverage in seafloor video mosaics
	from mud volcanoes. The automatic recognition is based on textural
	features extracted from the raw image data and classification using
	machine learning techniques. A classification accuracy of up to 98.86{\%}
	was achieved on the training data. The approach was extensively validated
	on a data set of more than 4000 seafloor video mosaics from the Haakon
	Mosby Mud Volcano.},
