imagetagger

I see there is the option to make imagetagger in the make file. I have never seen anything about this or gotten it to successfully build. Anybody have any input on what it does or documentation?

It was a POC to add data taken from a flight log and add it to the EXIF data in each image. It is a function which various other tools do perform. If it would be of use to you I could get it compiling again for you. You would be chief bug hunter for it then, 'though! :-)

YEAH! if you could get it working I would happily use it for my past data and future. I fly roughly once a week for our aerial topos. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

OK, I've pushed up something in a very-much "compiles for me" state. I've lost track of whatever data sets I had for testing this code, however! If you could supply something I could test against that might make the round-trip time to getting this working smaller.

Thanks Peter, running make right now. Is there anything I should be aware of when running it? I assume it is similar to what mission planner does to tag images (direct it to a log and also a directory containing the images)? I also assume that it only works with .JPEG and not TIFF? Is it looking for the TRIG or CAM messages in the .bin?

EDIT: gave it a try... got an error message both with .tiff and .jpeg

I've now had a closer look. Remember this was a POC :-) It requires a tlog, and uses the gps_raw_int (not global_position_int, which is odd) and mount status messages to take images based on the first tlog message it receives after the date on the image.

Whatever exiftool handles - it just shells out to get the data. That being aid, it currently seems to be hard-coded to skip anything other than JPG. It's been over 2 years since I looked at this tool :-)
