What does "register" do in detecron2 for training custom dataset?

Viewed 190

When I read the "Use Custom Datasets" section on the detectron2 web page, I saw that I needed to register my dataset. The web page says:

" If you want to use a custom dataset while also reusing detectron2’s data loaders, you will need to:

Register your dataset (i.e., tell detectron2 how to obtain your dataset).

Optionally, register metadata for your dataset."

What exactly does register do? Is it reliable in terms of the security of data that should be kept confidential? When I use this, is my data uploaded where others can access it? Is there any way to use custom data set without registering?
