    Base class for image data dumping & retrieving.
    A regular directory pattern would be like this:

        ├── file-tag-list.tsv
        │
        ├── Feat
        │   ├── 0a1
        │   └── 53e
        │   └── ...
        |
        └── Img
            ├── 0a1
            └── 53e
            └── ...

    It can be refractored from the original pattern which is supposed to be generated from web crawlers:

        ├── Neg
        │   ├── aaa.jpg
        │   └── bbb.jpg
        │   └── ...
        |
        └── Pos
            ├── ccc.jpg
            └── ddd.jpg
            └── ...

        'img' for image file data while 'image' for file path;
