# **Dataset Description**

This dataset was created to support Article X and is available on [Roboflow](https://universe.roboflow.com/visiongauge/utm_dataset-ooorv) and [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/datasets/claytonsds/UTM_Dataset).

It consists of images of **U-tube manometers** constructed using a **transparent PVC water level hose (5/16" × 1 mm)** and **flexible measuring tapes of different colors**, each with a length of **150 cm (60 inches)**. The manometric fluids represented in the dataset include **water, oil, and dyed water**, and the dataset is intended for computer vision **object detection tasks**, specifically targeting the **detection of liquid column levels**.

The dataset includes **8889 images**, and all annotations were performed using the RoboFlow Annotate Tool.
