Photo orientation for dataset #89

Open faqihbig opened 8 months ago

faqihbig commented 8 months ago

Hi Jon,

I encountered this problem where some of my photos that were imported to ibeis have an "upside down" orientation on the meta data where I have actually previously reorient each photo and saves it so the orientation is normal. However, it keeps appearing as "upside down".

Is there anyway to do the ID matching while ignoring this orientation metadata? Because I think it does not automatically reorient the database when it was ran.

Thank you!

It's probably something in the EXIF metadata. If you reorient the annotation itself then that should be sufficient, the other option is that you can strip the EXIF metadata from the image, rotate the actual data to how you want it, and then safe it. Both of these operations are annoying, but there isn't any mechanism in the system to set this.

Contributions to add such a feature would be accepted, but you're probably better off with a quick and dirty solution.
