It supports images that contain GPS metadata in their EXIF data. The function uses the System.Drawing.Image class to load the image and parse the GPS coordinates from property items. .PARAMETER ImagePath The full path to the image file to analyze. The file must be a valid image format that supports EXIF metadata (JPEG, TIFF, etc.). .OUTPUTS System.Collections.Hashtable Returns a hashtable containing Latitude and Longitude if GPS data is found, otherwise returns $null. .EXAMPLE Get-ImageGeolocation -ImagePath "C:\Photos\vacation.jpg" .EXAMPLE "C:\Photos\vacation.jpg" | Get-ImageGeolocation #> function Get-ImageGeolocation { [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([System.Collections.Hashtable])] param ( ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $true, Position = 0, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, HelpMessage = 'Path to the image file to analyze' )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$ImagePath ######################################################################## ) begin { # check if image path exists if (-not (Microsoft.PowerShell.Management\Test-Path -LiteralPath $ImagePath)) { Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Error ( "The specified image path '$ImagePath' does not exist." ) return } Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose ( "Processing image: $ImagePath" ) } process { try { # load the image file Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose 'Loading image file' $image = [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile($ImagePath) # get all property items $propertyItems = $image.PropertyItems # extract gps metadata properties Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose 'Extracting GPS metadata' $latitudeRef = $propertyItems | Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Where-Object { $PSItem.Id -eq 0x0001 } $latitude = $propertyItems | Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Where-Object { $PSItem.Id -eq 0x0002 } $longitudeRef = $propertyItems | Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Where-Object { $PSItem.Id -eq 0x0003 } $longitude = $propertyItems | Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Where-Object { $PSItem.Id -eq 0x0004 } # check if gps data exists if ($latitude -and $longitude -and $latitudeRef -and $longitudeRef) { # calculate actual latitude and longitude values $lat = [BitConverter]::ToUInt32($latitude.Value, 0) / [BitConverter]::ToUInt32($latitude.Value, 4) $lon = [BitConverter]::ToUInt32($longitude.Value, 0) / [BitConverter]::ToUInt32($longitude.Value, 4) # adjust for south and west hemispheres if ($latitudeRef.Value -eq [byte][char]'S') { $lat = - $lat } if ($longitudeRef.Value -eq [byte][char]'W') { $lon = - $lon } Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose ( "GPS coordinates found: $lat, $lon" ) return @{ Latitude = $lat Longitude = $lon } } else { Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose ( 'No GPS metadata found in image' ) return $null } } catch { Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Error ( "Failed to process image: $_" ) } finally { if ($image) { $image.Dispose() } } } end { } } |
