Sharing a dataset resource that may be useful for researchers, data scientists, and investigators.<\/p>\n
Image-Meta has indexed the embedded metadata (EXIF\/IPTC\/XMP) from ~720 million publicly accessible images using ExifTool. The data is queryable via a REST API & web rather than a bulk download.<\/p>\n
**What’s in the dataset:**<\/p>\n
– Camera make, model, and serial number<\/p>\n
– Author, copyright, rights, title, description<\/p>\n
– GPS coordinates (where present, subject to strict TOS\/paid tier not publicly free available)<\/p>\n
– Software chain <\/p>\n
– Creation, modification, and index dates<\/p>\n
– Filename and document ID<\/p>\n
– Creation, Modify Date, Date Found<\/p>\n
– Extra JSON supplimental metadata in full per image<\/p>\n
**Potential research uses:**<\/p>\n
– Camera device attribution studies<\/p>\n
– Metadata privacy\/leakage research<\/p>\n
– Image provenance and disinformation analysis<\/p>\n
– Geospatial studies using embedded GPS<\/p>\n
– Timeline reconstruction of image publication<\/p>\n
**Access:**<\/p>\n
