The PhotoCoordinateExtractor on the FME hub works well, but wouldn't it be better if:

  • The JPEG reader automatically converted and exposed the lat/long to decimal degrees
  • You could expose an optional feature type containing point features for the photo locations
  • Formats other than JPEG (i.e. TIFF) were also supported

For the second one, I'm thinking it would maybe work as an option on the initial reader setup, where you could choose whether to bring in the photo, the points, or both. I guess they would have to carry a common identifier so you could join them back together if you needed to...

There's a workspace on the knowledge base, I think it was made by @KenAtSafe, that performs most of these tasks. I've added the point creation to it and output to GML, with the JPG filename as an attribute, if you think it's useful for you I'd be happy to share it.

FME rocks! \m/

What I was trying to say was that it would be better if these functions were pre-canned in the reader in FME, rather than having to load in a transformer from the FME hub.
