Dataset Use Cases

  • Environmental Technology

    Developing Smart Waste Classification Systems

    Outdoor Garbage Dataset helps train computer vision models to automatically identify and classify garbage in outdoor environments. Containing thousands of labeled garbage images representing different waste materials, lighting conditions, and weather variations, it enables researchers to improve waste classification systems, increase model accuracy, and develop scalable solutions for real-world waste management challenges.

  • Municipal Waste Management

    Optimizing Collection and Sorting Operations

    This dataset provides the visual data needed to build AI-powered waste classification systems for city-wide waste management. By using these images to train models capable of recognizing and sorting garbage by type – plastic, paper, glass, metal, or organic – it helps optimize waste collection routes, streamline disposal processes, and support sustainable waste management and recycling initiatives.

  • Recycling and Sustainability Research

    Advancing Automated Waste Sorting Solutions

    The dataset supports researchers in developing advanced classification algorithms for recycling and waste sorting systems. Its varied garbage images help test model performance across multiple environments, improving the accuracy of deep learning systems in detecting recyclable, solid, and hazardous wastes, thus contributing to sustainability, reduced landfill use, and more effective resource recovery.

  • Smart City Applications

    Enhancing Urban Cleanliness and Monitoring Systems

    AI developers use such datasets to design image recognition systems that detect and classify waste accumulation in urban areas. This supports smart city initiatives by automating cleanliness monitoring, alerting municipal services to overflowing bins or illegal dumping, and ensuring timely waste collection, which improves public hygiene and overall city aesthetics.

What is included in this dataset?
This dataset includes over 5,000 labeled images of outdoor garbage cans and surrounding waste materials. Each image is annotated to indicate whether the can is full, empty, or scattered, making it ideal for classification and detection models focused on waste disposal and garbage collection.
What types of annotations are provided?
Outdoor Garbage Dataset contains XML-based bounding box annotations for each garbage can and visible waste item. These precise labels enable object localization and waste type identification, helping models achieve high classification accuracy and consistent detection results.
What are the sources of data for Unidata datasets?
All Unidata datasets are collected from reliable and ethically sourced data. Outdoor Garbage Dataset was created using crowdsourced images gathered by the Unidata team to capture various waste materials, garbage cans, and household waste in different outdoor environments.
How are Unidata datasets licensed?
Unidata datasets follow a dual-licensing model. Free samples are available for trial and evaluation, while full datasets are offered exclusively through purchase for research, development, and commercial use.
Do Unidata datasets follow GDPR or other data privacy regulations?
Yes. All Unidata datasets are curated in full compliance with GDPR and applicable data privacy regulations. The data is collected through lawful means to ensure ethical sourcing and responsible handling of environmental and public data.
How are Unidata datasets stored?
Unidata stores all datasets on AWS cloud infrastructure, ensuring secure storage, high availability, and data scalability. The system follows ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 standards, guaranteeing global compliance with information security and privacy management principles.
How long does it take to receive the dataset?
Once your request is submitted, Unidata will contact you to finalize details and documentation. After signing the agreement and payment, Outdoor Garbage Dataset will be delivered within 3–10 business days.
