About nuxeo-labs-decimal-gps

This plug-in uses exiftool with the option -n to extract GPS metadata in decimal format. This makes it easier to deal with positive and negative direction, and easier to integrate with services like Google Maps.

Usage

The plugin includes a custom operation, Document.GetGPSData, that accepts params that correspond to the EXIF tags GPSLongitute, GPSLatitude, and GPSPosition (which is a composite tag).

The values of the parameters are XPATH fields of the input document that will get these values. For example, say input document has the gps (custom) schema with 3 fields, gps:DecimalLatitude, gps:DecimalLongitude and gps:DecimalPosition. Calling the operation:

. . .
input = Document.GetGPSData(
  input, {
    'latitudeField': 'gps:DecimalLatitude',
    'longitudeField': 'gps:DecimalLongitude',
    'positionField': 'gps:DecimalPosition'
  }
)

Support

These features are not part of the Nuxeo Production platform.

These solutions are provided for inspiration and we encourage customers to use them as code samples and learning resources.

This is a moving project (no API maintenance, no deprecation process, etc.) If any of these solutions are found to be useful for the Nuxeo Platform in general, they will be integrated directly into platform, not maintained here.
