Are we allowed to use EXIF information? Will it be available in the S11 test set?

If by EXIF info you mean the metadata, the rules say that you’re free to use it but the test set won’t have it.

metadata is about number of images in a sequence and stored in a separate csv file, EXIF is a property of each image  
anyway, I’m looking for an official answer
