you can't with opencv. neither read nor write
The EXIF support is even an open feature request. Best way to get it into the sourcecode, is to come up with a pull request :)
However, an idea could be to use an external library for that, and then store the data somewhere. Libexif does exactly that.
I already tried libexif before, but that need to much step :
1) opencv write the mat to jpeg 2) java read this new jpeg 3) libexif apply exif 4) finally write a second time the jpeg.
Source code is native and cant modifiy it for #java#opencv
Is there a reason why you are using the java interface? Because the libexif is C - based and could be easily integrated in a simple workflow with openCV C++ interface. I do not know why you should write the JPEG twice... You can store it as a temporarily element in memory, removing the need of all those abundant read and write operations.
I use Java because I use it an android platform development. libexif exist for java as library. I can use Highguy.imencode to have a Buffer, but how i can handle it with libexif ?
Have no experience in Java, will have to find someone else for that :)
Sure. Even if you can do many things, I think you cant do that. And a library that can read / write metadata IPTC/EXIF from a buffer will be the best.
