dcraw and libraw mangles image metadata

Submitted by ichiman on

I first ran into this issue using dcraw and then found libraw but they both seem to have the same problems; at least using the dcraw_emu executable.

metadata from libimage-exiftool-perl

You can see the gps latitude and longitude ref returns unknown; can this be fixed?

Thank you for the quick

Submitted by ichiman on

Thank you for the quick response; I downloaded compiled and ran the latest github version.

I had another question; the tiff version adds a property, this one in particular looks like the malformed gps info.
[+Primary Platform : Unknown ()]
Is that a normal property value

Also properties such as gimbal pitch, yaw, roll among others are removed.

Should I give you a copy of this image to take a look at the fields that are removed?

not too convenient to look at

Submitted by lexa on

not too convenient to look at tags as a flat list.

In verbose output I see PrimaryPlatform set to four zeroes in ICC profile section.
I don’t think this is a big problem (unless some real software will complain about it).

apologies about the output, I sent a sample DNG file through the contact link.

I am still getting errors when trying to open the .tiff files

TIFFFieldWithTag: Internal error, unknown tag 0xa406.
TIFFFieldWithTag: Internal error, unknown tag 0xa407.
TIFFFieldWithTag: Internal error, unknown tag 0xa408.
TIFFFieldWithTag: Internal error, unknown tag 0xa409.
TIFFFieldWithTag: Internal error, unknown tag 0xa40a.
TIFFFieldWithTag: Internal error, unknown tag 0xa40b.

I am using colmap; which uses freeimage to import supported files. DNG files are unsupported but TIFF's are.

I think those unknown() values trips up freeimage.

I just downloaded the sample

I just downloaded the sample image and the exif file; I ran the test and still get the same errors when I try to load the .tiff file.

I ran a exiftool -v and there were some warnings

Sorry, missed these notices

Sorry, missed these notices because of *very long* reply:

>> Also properties such as gimbal pitch, yaw, roll among others are removed.
>>Should I give you a copy of this image to take a look at the fields that are removed?

LibRaw::write_tiff_ppm() used in dcraw_emu creates very minimal set of EXIF tags.
There is no plans to extend this.

Apologies for the long

Apologies for the long response.

Do you have a program that can just convert the dng file to tiff without changing any of the dng's exif metadata?

There is no such program in

Submitted by lexa on

There is no such program in LibRaw 'sample code' programs.

One could implement such program using LibRaw or Adobe DNG sdk for raw (dng) decode and something like libtiff for tiff write.
