Image metadata

Hi all,

First post - great to see an online community building up behind a superb offline group of users.

I'm trying to work with a series of images, which all have metadata embedded (predominently want the lat, long, to do some geo spatial work) - anyone got any ideas how I can pull that metadata off the images?

Cheers,

Andy

Here is my EXIF Reader Alteryx macro!

The values I am getting out look to be the same as that online tool.

It is using a command line tool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ to extract the information. Many thanks go to Phil Harvey for writing that tool as that is what is doing the bulk of the work here.

Hi Andy,

Not at my laptop = not tested.There is a directory input tool, but I can't remember how much detail it gives back.

Let me know if it helps.

Hi Daniel,

Good thought - I'd been trying to open the image rather than targeting the directory.

Unfortunately, while there is some customisation on that tool, it's fairly limited and doesn't allow you to acces custom metadata.

Cheers,

Andy

Hi Andy

What about using a cmdline tool like
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ to automate this via the Run
Command Tool

Not really Alteryx, but this could maybe help you retrieve your data for analysis.

Hi Andy,

Are you able to share a sample image I can test my solution on?

I imagine you could use the R package 'adimpro' to achieve this goal; however, you'll need to install additional tools to get the most out of it (dcraw & ImageMagik). This is the extent of what I can offer since my experience with adimpro is equal to the searching of the google's I did this morning.
