Introduction In this post, I will demonstrate how to read image metadata using BitmapMetadata class in C#. Before staring explanation, we should notice there are two namespaces that can handle image in C#. System.Drawing namespace: I tested in this post System.Windows.Media.Imaging In this post, we will use classes under System.Windows.Media.Imaging. Code for Reading Image Metadata Actually code itself is quite simple :) Please see code below. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Linq; using System.Windows.Media.Imaging; using System.Diagnostics; namespace MetadataExample { public static class ReadImageMetadataExample { public static void a(string fileName) { var fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read); var img = BitmapFrame.Create(fs); var metadata = img.Metadata as BitmapMetadata; Debug.WriteLine("=== metadata ===...

In this post, I will show you the code snippet for extracting jpeg image exif metadata using metadata-extractor . Code package com.dukesoftware.image; import com.drew.imaging.ImageMetadataReader; import com.drew.imaging.ImageProcessingException; import com.drew.metadata.Directory; import com.drew.metadata.Metadata; import com.drew.metadata.Tag; import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; public class MetaDataExtractor { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { printMetaData(new File("c:/temp/metadata_eample.jpg")); } private static void printMetaData(File file) throws IOException { try { Metadata drewmetadata = ImageMetadataReader.readMetadata(file); for (Directory directory : drewmetadata.getDirectories()) { System.out.println("==="+directory.getClass().getName()+"==="); for (Tag tag : directory.getTags()) { System.out.p...

Recently I have been investigating image library in Java. In this post, I will show you the code snippet for extracting jpeg image exif metadata using Sanselan . Code package com.dulesoftware.image; import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.List; import org.apache.sanselan.ImageReadException; import org.apache.sanselan.Sanselan; import org.apache.sanselan.common.IImageMetadata; import org.apache.sanselan.common.ImageMetadata.Item; import org.apache.sanselan.formats.jpeg.JpegImageMetadata; import org.apache.sanselan.formats.tiff.TiffField; import org.apache.sanselan.formats.tiff.TiffImageMetadata; public class SanselanMetadataExample { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { printMeatadata(new File("c:/temp/metadata_eample.jpg")); } public static void printMeatadata(File file) throws ImageReadException, IOException { IImageMetadata sanselanmetadata = Sanselan.getMetadata(file); if (sanselan...

Introduction In the previous post , I showed available tags in ExifTagConstants, TiffTagConstants, GpsTagConstants classes. In this post, I will show you code snippet for extracting metada from jpeg using the tags. In order to run example code, you should download commons-imaging.jar from here . Somehow the official homepage of Commons Imaging doesn't provide commons-imaging.jar!! Code package com.dulesoftware.image; import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.lang.reflect.Field; import java.lang.reflect.Modifier; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; import org.apache.commons.imaging.ImageReadException; import org.apache.commons.imaging.Imaging; import org.apache.commons.imaging.common.IImageMetadata; import org.apache.commons.imaging.common.IImageMetadata.IImageMetadataItem; import org.apache.commons.imaging.formats.jpeg.JpegImageMetadata; import org.apache.commons.imaging.formats.t...

I wrote the post for extracting gif frame image from an animated gif image in Java - Java: Extract Gif Images From An Animated Gif Image . In this post, I have tried to do same thing in C# as well :D Code using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Imaging; namespace Utility { public class GifImageUtils { public static void SaveAnimatedGifFrames(string path, string outDir) { var gifImg = Image.FromFile(path); var dimension = new FrameDimension(gifImg.FrameDimensionsList[0]); int frameCount = gifImg.GetFrameCount(dimension); for (int i = 0; i < frameCount; i++) { gifImg.SelectActiveFrame(dimension, i); // create a frame image from the original source image - clone is mandatory var frame = (Image)gifImg.Clone(); frame.Save(outDir+"/"+i+".gif", ImageFormat.Gif); } } } } Exa...
