Summary

Accurate fruit detection in citrus orchards is essential for yield estimation, precision harvesting, and automated orchard monitoring. Although UAV-based imaging has become a powerful tool in precision agriculture, publicly available datasets for orange fruit detection remain scarce, particularly those integrating multispectral data under real field conditions. This lack of open resources limits the development and benchmarking of robust deep-learning models for cross-spectral and illumination-invariant detection. We present CampanetaOrangeFruit, a dataset acquired with a DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral UAV flying at 14 m above ground level over a commercial citrus orchard in Corbera, Valencia, Spain. The dataset comprises 550 synchronized captures (RGB + four multispectral bands: R, G, RE, NIR)
