Control of meta-data

[csterling]

Different formats have additional pieces of information which may be useful depending on the conversion being performed. These pieces of information could be stored in the metadata field of the located_objects (for image annotations at least).

Some examples of such meta-data:

• MS-COCO:
  • supercategory for labels
  • date captured for images
  • version, contributor, url
• VGG:
  • Default region names
  • public domain images

Add a mechanism for converting this additional data where appropriate, and for influencing this mechanism via ISPs etc.
