Pollution sources release contaminants into water bodies via sewage outfalls (SOs). Using high-resolution images to interpret SOs is laborious and expensive because it needs specific knowledge and must be done by hand. Integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and deep learning technology could assist in constructing an automated effluent SOs detection tool by gaining specialized knowledge. Achieving this objective requires high-quality image datasets for model training and testing. However, there is no satisfactory dataset of SOs. This study presents a high-quality dataset named the images for sewage outfalls objective detection (iSOOD). The 10481 images in iSOOD were captured using UAVs and handheld cameras by individuals from the river basin in China. This study has carefully annotated these images to ensure accuracy and consistency. The iSOOD has undergone technical validation utilizing the YOLOv10 series objective detection model. Our study could provide high-quality SOs datasets for enhancing deep-learning models with UAVs to achieve efficient and intelligent river basin management.
