[Bug 37925] Extract heading (=Direction of image) from EXIF/metadata and add it to location template
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37925
--- Comment #4 from El Grafo elgr...@gmx.net ---
The relevant EXIF field seems to be Exif.GPSInfo.GPSImgDirection – it contains
the heading in degrees, which could be directly plugged into the location
template.
There is also Exif.GPSInfo.GPSImgDirectionRef which can contain either T for
true north or M for magnetic north.
There are other similar fields, for example for the direction the camera was
physically moving to, but that's not what we want (think about shooting
sideways out of a moving car).
Note that the location template
(https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Location) has two possible types
of syntax: One for decimal degrees and one for degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS)
kind of data – I'm not sure which one UW uses. Both of them have a parameter
for additional attributes (parameter 3 for decimal degrees, parameter 9 for
DMS) such as camera heading, region, etc. to be passed to GeoHack. This
parameter can potentially hold multiple key-value pairs separated by
underscores, but I think the only one that would be used by the UploadWizard
would be the heading.
In real life, templates would look like this:
{{Location|34.02427|-116.15830|heading:180}} for decimal degrees
{{Location|34|1|27.37|N|116|9|29.88|W|heading:180}} for DMS
Note that there is a colon between the heading and the 180, not a =.
Hope that helps?

[Bug 37925] Extract heading (=Direction of image) from EXIF/metadata and add it to location template
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37925 --- Comment #5 from El Grafo elgr...@gmx.net --- Addendum: The template does not only accept the camera heading in degrees (0-359) but also letter combinations like SE for south-east. More specifically, it uses the abbreviations of the 32 cardinal points (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points_of_the_compass#32_cardinal_points). If we also want to make it possible to enter a heading by hand, it might be worth keeping that in mind. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

It sounds like a relatively easy thing to do and it would help to make things like GeoCommons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GeoCommons) even more useful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Is its format standardizes? Where would it go in that template? It does sound straightforward to make, but the specifications should be clear. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
