Research and Data Use
BudGuard uses explicit uploader labels and structured metadata to improve educational tooling and internal model workflows. Public guidance is educational support only.
Label quality
Verified and reviewed labels improve triage and active-learning priorities.
Metadata value
Stage, environment, and symptom context reduce ambiguous class boundaries.
Rights and privacy
Uploads require explicit consent and rights attestation before intake.
Pipeline summary
- 1. Backend validates files and required consent fields.
- 2. Server strips EXIF metadata before storage.
- 3. Asset IDs are deterministic hashes for idempotent handling.
- 4. Intake metadata is persisted for review, triage, and training workflow stages.
- 5. Suggested diagnosis output remains educational with confirm steps and lookalike checks.
