将图像数据来源信息嵌入文件,确保可追溯性与可维护性。

Embedding Provenance in Computer Vision Datasets with JSON-LD

  • 用JSON-LD格式将数据溯源信息直接嵌入图像文件中。
  • 保留拍摄参数、预处理步骤等关键细节,避免信息丢失。
  • 适合关注数据可信度与模型可解释性的研究者与工程师。

随着计算机视觉在工业领域的广泛应用,图像数据的来源信息(provenance)日益重要。它记录了资源(如图像数据集)的起源与演变过程,有助于追踪数据变化,理解下游模型的行为。同时,也可支持合规检查、审计和数据复用。目前,溯源信息通常单独存放于文本文件中,导致关键细节如拍摄设置、预处理流程、模型架构或迭代版本等信息容易丢失。本文提出一种新方案,利用JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data(JSON-LD)构建结构化溯源数据,并将其直接嵌入图像文件。该方法具有两大优势:一是与成熟标准对齐,增强描述规范性;二是确保溯源信息始终与图像绑定,防止丢失,提升系统的可维护性与可扩展性。核心在于保持视觉资源与其溯源信息之间的紧密关联。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With the ubiquity of computer vision in industry, the importance of image provenance is becoming more apparent. Provenance provides information about the origin and derivation of some resource, e.g., an image dataset, enabling users to trace data changes to better understand the expected behaviors of downstream models trained on such data. Provenance may also help with data maintenance by ensuring compliance, supporting audits and improving reusability. Typically, if provided, provenance is stored separately, e.g., within a text file, leading to a loss of descriptive information for key details like image capture settings, data preprocessing steps, and model architecture or iteration. Images often lack the information detailing the parameters of their creation or compilation. This paper proposes a novel schema designed to structure image provenance in a manageable and coherent format. The approach utilizes JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data (JSON-LD), embedding this provenance directly within the image file. This offers two significant benefits: (1) it aligns image descriptions with a robust schema inspired by and linked to established standards, and (2) it ensures that provenance remains intrinsically tied to images, preventing loss of information and enhancing system qualities, e.g., maintainability and adaptability. This approach emphasizes maintaining the direct connection between vision resources and their provenance.
