Nick Burch commented on TIKA-915:
---------------------------------
While I can see some users wanting to call out to exiftool to do the metadata
parsing, many will want a pure Java solution. I believe the Drew Noakes library
is the best pure Java one available under a suitable license, and so we'll need
to stick with it.
If you have some time, would you be able to look into doing a bug report to
Drew Noakes (ideally with a unit test, and maybe even a patch!)
Also, the small image didn't come through in your patch (binary files normally
won't), any chance you could attach it to the issue?

> This was initially reported as an Alfresco issue,
> https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-13004, but is actually a Tika
> problem. It seems that for some images, the geo metadata is being incorrectly
> rounded to an integer:
> $ tika --metadata 2012-02-19\ 16.43.29.jpg | grep --text geo
> geo:lat: 51.0
> geo:long: -1.0
> The image was actually taken at (as extracted by exiftool)
> $ exiftool 2012-02-19\ 16.43.29.jpg | grep GPS
> ....
> GPS Altitude : 295 m Above Sea Level
> GPS Date/Time : 2012:02:20 16:44:22Z
> GPS Latitude : 51 deg 34' 32.74" N
> GPS Longitude : 1 deg 34' 4.39" W
> GPS Position : 51 deg 34' 32.74" N, 1 deg 34' 4.39" W
> The sample file for this example is available at
> <https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/secure/attachment/29236/2012-02-19+16.43.29.jpg>.
> We do have the OK to use the photo in a test suite, but it's possibly a bit
> big as-is so we may need to resize it whilst preserving the exif data for a
> unit test.
