獲取圖片的metaData

獲取圖片的metaData

 

 

獲取簡易的metaData較為容易,以下是測試圖:

以下是本人提供的源碼:

UIImage+MetaData.h

@interface UIImage (MetaData)

- (NSDictionary *)JPEGmetaData;
- (NSDictionary *)PNGmetaData;

@end

#import "UIImage+MetaData.h"
#import <AssetsLibrary/AssetsLibrary.h>
#import <ImageIO/ImageIO.h>

@implementation UIImage (MetaData)

- (NSDictionary *)JPEGmetaData
{
    if (self == nil)
    {
        return nil;
    }
    
    // 轉換成jpegData,信息要多一些
    NSData *jpegData              = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(self, 1.0);
    CGImageSourceRef source       = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((__bridge CFDataRef)jpegData, NULL);
    CFDictionaryRef imageMetaData = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(source, 0, NULL);
    CFRelease(source);
    
    NSDictionary *metaDataInfo    = CFBridgingRelease(imageMetaData);
    return metaDataInfo;
}

- (NSDictionary *)PNGmetaData
{
    if (self == nil)
    {
        return nil;
    }
    
    NSData *pngData               = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self);
    CGImageSourceRef source       = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((__bridge CFDataRef)pngData , NULL);
    CFDictionaryRef imageMetaData = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(source, 0, NULL);
    CFRelease(source);
    
    NSDictionary *metaDataInfo    = CFBridgingRelease(imageMetaData);
    return metaDataInfo;
}

@end

使用情況:

//
//  AppDelegate.m
//  GetPictureInfo
//
//  Copyright (c) 2014年 Y.X. All rights reserved.
//

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "UIImage+MetaData.h"

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    
    NSLog(@"%@", [[UIImage imageNamed:@"IMG_0151.JPG"] JPEGmetaData]);
    
    self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

@end

以下是打印信息:

{
    ColorModel = RGB;
    Depth = 8;
    Orientation = 1;
    PixelHeight = 1936;
    PixelWidth = 2592;
    "{Exif}" =     {
        ColorSpace = 1;
        PixelXDimension = 2592;
        PixelYDimension = 1936;
    };
    "{JFIF}" =     {
        DensityUnit = 0;
        JFIFVersion =         (
            1,
            1
        );
        XDensity = 1;
        YDensity = 1;
    };
    "{TIFF}" =     {
        Orientation = 1;
    };
}
幾個需要注意的地方:

1. 需要引入兩個庫

2. 一些需要注意的細節

你以為結束了么?沒有呢,你還沒取到圖片的經緯度信息,對吧,一下給你提供資料自己去嘗試:)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9766394/get-exif-data-from-uiimage-uiimagepickercontroller

 

How can we get Exif information from UIImage selected from UIImagePickerController?

I had done much R&D for this and got many replies but still failed to implement this.

I had gone through this this and this link

Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance..

Interesting question! I came up with the following solution working for images picked from your photo library (note my code is using ARC):

Import AssetsLibrary.framework and ImageIO.framework.

Then include the needed classes inside your .h-file:

#import <AssetsLibrary/ALAsset.h> #import <AssetsLibrary/ALAssetRepresentation.h> #import <ImageIO/CGImageSource.h> #import <ImageIO/CGImageProperties.h>

And put this inside your imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: delegate method:

ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init]; [library assetForURL:[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] resultBlock:^(ALAsset *asset) { ALAssetRepresentation *image_representation = [asset defaultRepresentation]; // create a buffer to hold image data  uint8_t *buffer = (Byte*)malloc(image_representation.size); NSUInteger length = [image_representation getBytes:buffer fromOffset: 0.0 length:image_representation.size error:nil]; if (length != 0) { // buffer -> NSData object; free buffer afterwards NSData *adata = [[NSData alloc] initWithBytesNoCopy:buffer length:image_representation.size freeWhenDone:YES]; // identify image type (jpeg, png, RAW file, ...) using UTI hint NSDictionary* sourceOptionsDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:(id)[image_representation UTI] ,kCGImageSourceTypeIdentifierHint,nil]; // create CGImageSource with NSData CGImageSourceRef sourceRef = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((__bridge CFDataRef) adata, (__bridge CFDictionaryRef) sourceOptionsDict); // get imagePropertiesDictionary CFDictionaryRef imagePropertiesDictionary; imagePropertiesDictionary = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(sourceRef,0, NULL); // get exif data CFDictionaryRef exif = (CFDictionaryRef)CFDictionaryGetValue(imagePropertiesDictionary, kCGImagePropertyExifDictionary); NSDictionary *exif_dict = (__bridge NSDictionary*)exif; NSLog(@"exif_dict: %@",exif_dict); // save image WITH meta data NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0]; NSURL *fileURL = nil; CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(sourceRef, 0, imagePropertiesDictionary); if (![[sourceOptionsDict objectForKey:@"kCGImageSourceTypeIdentifierHint"] isEqualToString:@"public.tiff"]) { fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@.%@", documentsDirectory, @"myimage", [[[sourceOptionsDict objectForKey:@"kCGImageSourceTypeIdentifierHint"] componentsSeparatedByString:@"."] objectAtIndex:1] ]]; CGImageDestinationRef dr = CGImageDestinationCreateWithURL ((__bridge CFURLRef)fileURL, (__bridge CFStringRef)[sourceOptionsDict objectForKey:@"kCGImageSourceTypeIdentifierHint"], 1, NULL ); CGImageDestinationAddImage(dr, imageRef, imagePropertiesDictionary); CGImageDestinationFinalize(dr); CFRelease(dr); } else { NSLog(@"no valid kCGImageSourceTypeIdentifierHint found …"); } // clean up CFRelease(imageRef); CFRelease(imagePropertiesDictionary); CFRelease(sourceRef); } else { NSLog(@"image_representation buffer length == 0"); } } failureBlock:^(NSError *error) { NSLog(@"couldn't get asset: %@", error); } ];

One thing I noticed is, that iOS will ask the user to allow location services – if he denies, you won't be abled to get the image data …

EDIT

Added code to save the image including its meta data. It's a quick approach, so maybe there is a better way, but it works!

Can you plz tell me how to save image after getting exif data? –  iOS developer Mar 19 '12 at 9:40

+1 Cool answer.. –  iOS developer Mar 19 '12 at 9:44

@Marvin Check out my edit :P –  dom Mar 19 '12 at 10:54

plz tell me what is "__bridge" in your code? :-) –  iOS developer Mar 19 '12 at 11:05

@Marvin I'm using ARC. __bridge is one of a hand full of keywords, which tell ARC about the objects ownership so it can properly clean them up. The simplest case is a __bridge cast, for which ARC will not do any extra work (it assumes you handle the object's memory yourself). –  dom Mar 21 '12 at 6:45

I had found solution and got answer from here

From here We can get GPS info as well..

Amazing and thanks all for helping me to solve this problem.

UPDATE

This is another function that I had created myself, also return Exif data as well as GPS data and in this function we doesn't need any third party library.. but you have to turn on location services for this. and use current latitude and longitude for that. so have to use CoreLocation.framework

//FOR CAMERA IMAGE -(NSMutableData *)getImageWithMetaData:(UIImage *)pImage { NSData* pngData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(pImage); CGImageSourceRef source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((CFDataRef)pngData, NULL); NSDictionary *metadata = (NSDictionary *) CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(source, 0, NULL); NSMutableDictionary *metadataAsMutable = [[metadata mutableCopy]autorelease]; [metadata release]; //For GPS Dictionary NSMutableDictionary *GPSDictionary = [[[metadataAsMutable objectForKey:(NSString *)kCGImagePropertyGPSDictionary]mutableCopy]autorelease]; if(!GPSDictionary) GPSDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary]; [GPSDictionary setValue:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:currentLatitude] forKey:(NSString*)kCGImagePropertyGPSLatitude]; [GPSDictionary setValue:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:currentLongitude] forKey:(NSString*)kCGImagePropertyGPSLongitude]; NSString* ref; if (currentLatitude <0.0) ref = @"S"; else ref =@"N"; [GPSDictionary setValue:ref forKey:(NSString*)kCGImagePropertyGPSLatitudeRef]; if (currentLongitude <0.0) ref = @"W"; else ref =@"E"; [GPSDictionary setValue:ref forKey:(NSString*)kCGImagePropertyGPSLongitudeRef]; [GPSDictionary setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:location.altitude] forKey:(NSString*)kCGImagePropertyGPSAltitude]; //For EXIF Dictionary NSMutableDictionary *EXIFDictionary = [[[metadataAsMutable objectForKey:(NSString *)kCGImagePropertyExifDictionary]mutableCopy]autorelease]; if(!EXIFDictionary) EXIFDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary]; [EXIFDictionary setObject:[NSDate date] forKey:(NSString*)kCGImagePropertyExifDateTimeOriginal]; [EXIFDictionary setObject:[NSDate date] forKey:(NSString*)kCGImagePropertyExifDateTimeDigitized]; //add our modified EXIF data back into the image’s metadata [metadataAsMutable setObject:EXIFDictionary forKey:(NSString *)kCGImagePropertyExifDictionary]; [metadataAsMutable setObject:GPSDictionary forKey:(NSString *)kCGImagePropertyGPSDictionary]; CFStringRef UTI = CGImageSourceGetType(source); NSMutableData *dest_data = [NSMutableData data]; CGImageDestinationRef destination = CGImageDestinationCreateWithData((CFMutableDataRef)dest_data, UTI, 1, NULL); if(!destination) dest_data = [[pngData mutableCopy] autorelease]; else { CGImageDestinationAddImageFromSource(destination, source, 0, (CFDictionaryRef) metadataAsMutable); BOOL success = CGImageDestinationFinalize(destination); if(!success) dest_data = [[pngData mutableCopy] autorelease]; } if(destination) CFRelease(destination); CFRelease(source); return dest_data; } //FOR PHOTO LIBRARY IMAGE -(NSMutableData *)getImagedataPhotoLibrary:(NSDictionary *)pImgDictionary andImage:(UIImage *)pImage { NSData* data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(pImage); CGImageSourceRef source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((CFDataRef)data, NULL); NSMutableDictionary *metadataAsMutable = [[pImgDictionary mutableCopy]autorelease]; CFStringRef UTI = CGImageSourceGetType(source); NSMutableData *dest_data = [NSMutableData data]; //For Mutabledata CGImageDestinationRef destination = CGImageDestinationCreateWithData((CFMutableDataRef)dest_data, UTI, 1, NULL); if(!destination) dest_data = [[data mutableCopy] autorelease]; else { CGImageDestinationAddImageFromSource(destination, source, 0, (CFDictionaryRef) metadataAsMutable); BOOL success = CGImageDestinationFinalize(destination); if(!success) dest_data = [[data mutableCopy] autorelease]; } if(destination) CFRelease(destination); CFRelease(source); return dest_data; }

and We will retrieve that data like this

//FOR CAMERA IMAGE NSData *originalImgData = [self getImageWithMetaData:imgOriginal]; //FOR PHOTO LIBRARY IMAGE [self getImagedataPhotoLibrary:[[myasset defaultRepresentation] metadata] andImage:imgOriginal];

For all of this you should have to Import AssetsLibrary.framework and ImageIO.framework.

where is currentLatitude coming from? Are you setting this from the standard CoreLocation calls before you invoke the UIImagePicker or are you reading it directly from the image that was returned? –  Paul Cezanne Apr 24 '12 at 14:55

CoreLoation calls before invoking UIImagePickerController –  iOS developer Apr 25 '12 at 4:17

ahhh, it can be inaccurate then. You call CoreLocation, invoke UIImagePicker and then physically move the device a distance before taking the image. You will now have inaccurate latitude and longitude. Drat... –  Paul Cezanne Apr 25 '12 at 8:48

But you can also put distance filter for 5 meters so If use moves then It will automatically take its current location.. –  iOS developer Apr 25 '12 at 9:44

but you'll never know the location when the shutter button is pressed, just the current location. (You can keep on moving after the shutter button is pressed.) –  Paul Cezanne Apr 25 '12 at 9:54

These answers all seem extremely complex. If the image has been saved to the Camera Roll, and you have the ALAsset (either from UIImagePicker or ALAssetLibrary) you can get the metadata like so:

asset.defaultRepresentation.metadata;

If you want to save that image from camera roll to another location (say in Sandbox/Documents) simply do:

CGImageDestinationRef imageDestinationRef = CGImageDestinationCreateWithURL((__bridge CFURLRef)urlToSaveTo, kUTTypeJPEG, 1, NULL); CFDictionaryRef imagePropertiesRef = (__bridge CFDictionaryRef)asset.defaultRepresentation.metadata; CGImageDestinationAddImage(imageDestinationRef, asset.defaultRepresentation.fullResolutionImage, imagePropertiesRef); if (!CGImageDestinationFinalize(imageDestinationRef)) NSLog(@"Failed to copy photo on save to %@", urlToSaveTo); CFRelease(imageDestinationRef);

This is a far superior way to do this than the answers from 2012. –  broughten Oct 18 '13 at 6:13

It also return much more info than the other ways: They won't return infos Stored in {TIFF} like Model, Make, Copyright, Artist and so on. This should be marked as answer! –  Benedikt Mokroß Dec 7 '13 at 17:02

You need ALAssetsLibrary to actually retrieve the EXIF info from an image. The EXIF is added to an image only when it is saved to the Photo Library. Even if you use ALAssetLibrary to get an image asset from the library, it will lose all EXIF info if you set it to a UIImage.

I have tried to insert GPS coordinates into image metadata picked by iPad Camera as it was suggested by Mehul. It Works, Thank you for your post. P.S. Who intends to use that code, just substitude the two geolocations at the top of the function -(NSMutableData *)getImageWithMetaData:(UIImage *)pImage { double currentLatitude = [locationManager location].coordinate.latitude; double currentLongitude = [locationManager location].coordinate.longitude; ... By supposing that you have already initializied somewhere locationManager in your code, like this: locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; [locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest]; [locationManager setDelegate:self]; // Not necessary in this case [locationManager startUpdatingLocation]; // Not neccessary in this case and by importing CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h and ImageIO/ImageIO.h headers with associated frameworks.
