A device and method for managing metadata associated with an object detected in an image, where the object corresponds to an area of the image are disclosed. A metadata item associated with the object is obtained, where the metadata item includes an identification of the area, and a quantitative level of an image data characteristic of the area or of the area as encoded is determined. A condition in relation to the determined quantitative level of the image data characteristic is evaluated, and on condition that the condition is fulfilled, reducing or discarding the metadata item. In an alternative, a level of compression of the area as encoded is determined, and it is determined if the level of compression is higher than a compression threshold. On condition that the level of compression is higher than the compression threshold, the metadata item is reduced or discarded.
