Collect Oriented imagery

Hi,

I saw it's possible to collect oriented imagery via Quick Capture. Is it also possible using Field Maps ?

Thank you !

I thought it just uses the Exif info which should be in all photos? I would like to know.

Finally we found it's possible with Survey123 using the pulldata function on exif infos.

Still no idea about Field Maps... maybe with Arcade ?

Thanks

I used the Orientated Imagery tools and was able to get any old photo with Exif to go. Why would it be app specific?

We did find that you must set iOS to to Most Compatible in the photos setting otherwise all the exif gets stripped.

Not sure what you mean here?

Hi Doug,

Our goal is to fill a field in a feature Class using Exif info when features are collected with attachments using Field Maps. Quick capture designer allows to fill fields values with informations about the device and the camera but I didn't saw anything alike in Field Maps

Thanks !

It looks like this one may do it but not much info to go on in the help.

Attachment
Defines information about attachments returned from feature service queries. These are fetched using the Attachments() function.

Property Type Description
id number The ID of the attachment.
name text The file name of the attachment, including the file extension.
exifInfo Array An array containing the Exif metadata of the attachment.

I use the ExifTool https://exiftool.org/ and the Python wrapper for it https://pypi.org/project/PyExifTool/ I pull the exif I need out after I export them.

Hope that helps

Thanks Doug,

Thanks for the tip. I red the docs but I would like to avoid post-processing. The advantage of QuickCapture is that you get picture orientation directly in a field of the layer without any calculation, but I guess it is related to the fact that a Quick capture record can only have one picture attached.
