Hi,

I've a JPG with MakerNote EXIF data but I don't know how to access it. The ImageEnView1.IO.Params.EXIF_MakerNote.Data.Size is always 0.

How can I access this metadata information?

I attact the image with this EXIF data.

Thank you

Jordi

Hi Jordi

I have not seen a JSON format maker note before. Can you tell me more about the source of this file?

Hi, this image is captured with a Lucid Vision Labs camera, but the MakerNote tag is injected via Python by an AI software to identify some parameters of a factory machine. They injected this JSON in this Exif tag. Maybe it would be better to use another tag.

I've used another Delphi library (CCR-Exif) that has the ability to extract this information. Maybe you could use the same techniques used in this library to improve ImageEn.

Thank you

Hi

Yes, I can access the raw data at the EXIF maker notes IFD. The issue is that maker notes are always formatted as TIFF tags (in my experience) not as JSON so we'd need to implement some special handling for this. However as this is an uncommong format I'm not sure if I should add a lot of extra code to ImageEn to handle something non-standard. It would probably be better if we gave you the code to extract this custom data yourself.

Yes, please, if you can give me the source. I prefer using ImageEn to extract this information instead of using other libraries.

Thank you

Sorry, I see that it is possible to extract the data with the current version.

Please use:
var RB: RawByteString;

IEGlobalSettings.EXIFMakerNotesHandling := iemhDecodeOrMaintainRaw;
ImageEnView1.io.LoadFromFile(FileListBox1.FileName);
SetLength(RB, ImageEnView1.IO.Params.EXIF_MakerNote.UnparsedDataLength);
Move(ImageEnView1.IO.Params.EXIF_MakerNote.UnparsedData^, Pointer(RB)^, ImageEnView1.IO.Params.EXIF_MakerNote.UnparsedDataLength);
memo1.Text := RB;
