Exexif

Read TIFF and EXIF information from a JPEG-format image.

Retrieve data from a file:

iex> {:ok, info} = Exexif.exif_from_jpeg_file(path)

Retrieve data from a binary containing the JPEG (you don't need the whole thing—the exif is near the beginning of a JPEG, so 100k or so should do fine).

iex> {:ok, info} = Exexif.exif_from_jpeg_buffer(buffer)

Access the high level TIFF data:

iex> info.x_resolution
72
iex> info.model
"DSC-RX100M2"

The exif data is in there, too.

iex> info.exif.color_space
"sRGB"

iex> info.exif |> Dict.keys
[:brightness_value, :color_space, :component_configuration,
 :compressed_bits_per_pixel, :contrast, :custom_rendered, :datetime_original,

 :metering_mode, :recommended_exposure, :saturation, :scene_capture_type,

GPS data is in there, too (if presented in EXIF, of course.)

iex> {:ok, info} = Exexif.exif_from_jpeg_file("test/images/sunrise.jpg")
{:ok,
 %{exif: %{color_space: "Uncalibrated", exif_version: "2.10", ...},
   gps: %Exexif.Data.Gps{gps_altitude: 47, gps_altitude_ref: 0, ...},

   orientation: "Horizontal (normal)", resolution_units: "Pixels/in",
   x_resolution: 72, y_resolution: 72}}

iex> info.gps.gps_latitude
[41, 23, 16.019]

iex> "#{info.gps}"
"41°23´16˝N,2°11´50˝E"
