Make
your photo collection automatically geocoded with GeoIPTC
|
|
GeoIPTC is an innovative tool
to add geographical identification to your images (geocoding)
according to IPTC and XMP metadata embedded in images.
GeoIPTC
reads all IPTC and IPTC Core metadata embedded in an image, isolates
localisation data (City, Location, Province/State, Country Code and
Country Name), then sends a request to a Geocoding Web Service and
finally gets latitude/longitude coordinates.
To
say it briefly: GeoIPTC gets geographical
information
from the “postman address” embedded in image.

This image Paris.jpg contains:
- Exif metadata (but no Exif GPS location data)
- IPTC/IIM metadata
- IPTC Core metadata
GeoIPTC
collects all location metadata from IPTC and IPTC Core:
- City = "Paris"
- Location = "Tour Montparnasse"
- Country Name = "France"
Then the program gets latitude/longitude from a Geocoding Web Services
allowing to show the placemark on a Maps Service or on Google Earth (see
below) or to generate Exif GPS data inside the image file.
