Extract IPTC information from JPEG using Javascript
For what it's worth, I extrapolated on this a bit... I haven't done a whole lot of testing, but the few test images I have seem to work.
var bDebug = false;
var fieldMap = {
120 : 'caption',
110 : 'credit',
25 : 'keywords',
85 : 'byline',
122 : 'captionWriter',
105 : 'headline',
116 : 'copyright',
15 : 'category'
};
function readIPTCData(oFile, iStart, iLength) {
var data = {};
if (oFile.getStringAt(iStart, 9) != "Photoshop") {
if (bDebug) log("Not valid Photoshop data! " + oFile.getStringAt(iStart, 9));
return false;
}
var fileLength = oFile.getLength();
var length, offset, fieldStart, title, value;
var FILE_SEPARATOR_CHAR = 28,
START_OF_TEXT_CHAR = 2;
for (var i = 0; i < iLength; i++) {
fieldStart = iStart + i;
if(oFile.getByteAt(fieldStart) == START_OF_TEXT_CHAR && oFile.getByteAt(fieldStart + 1) in fieldMap) {
length = 0;
offset = 2;
while(
fieldStart + offset < fileLength &&
oFile.getByteAt(fieldStart + offset) != FILE_SEPARATOR_CHAR &&
oFile.getByteAt(fieldStart + offset + 1) != START_OF_TEXT_CHAR) { offset++; length++; }
if(!length) { continue; }
title = fieldMap[oFile.getByteAt(fieldStart + 1)];
value = oFile.getStringAt(iStart + i + 2, length) || '';
value = value.replace('\000','').trim();
data[title] = value;
i+=length-1;
}
}
return data;
}
function findIPTCinJPEG(oFile) {
var aMarkers = [];
if (oFile.getByteAt(0) != 0xFF || oFile.getByteAt(1) != 0xD8) {
return false; // not a valid jpeg
}
var iOffset = 2;
var iLength = oFile.getLength();
while (iOffset < iLength) {
if (oFile.getByteAt(iOffset) != 0xFF) {
if (bDebug) console.log("Not a valid marker at offset " + iOffset + ", found: " + oFile.getByteAt(iOffset));
return false; // not a valid marker, something is wrong
}
var iMarker = oFile.getByteAt(iOffset+1);
if (iMarker == 237) {
if (bDebug) console.log("Found 0xFFED marker");
return readIPTCData(oFile, iOffset + 4, oFile.getShortAt(iOffset+2, true)-2);
} else {
iOffset += 2 + oFile.getShortAt(iOffset+2, true);
}
}
}
IPTC.readFromBinaryFile = function(oFile) {
return findIPTCinJPEG(oFile);
}
