Convert private tiff tag into python dict

Time:10-14

I am trying to read the metadata of this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ZTLRazYbgm4pYEc3M7J7bP6590ZjNtY/view?usp=sharing

It is saved in a private tag (34682, see python TiffFileError: invalid tag value offset)

I tried the solution from Read tiff tags in Python:

import tifffile
with tifffile.TiffFile('file.tif') as tif:
    tif_tags = {}
    for tag in tif.pages[0].tags.values():
        name, value = tag.name, tag.value
        tif_tags[name] = value

However this will save the whole interesting metadata as one string in the dict key 'FEI_TITAN':

In [150]: tif_tags['FEI_TITAN']

Is there a way to retrieve these entries as individual dictionary keys? I already tried Convert a String representation of a Dictionary to a dictionary?, but neither is working for me...

Any ideas?

CodePudding user response:

The string you got here turns out to be encoded as xml. You can have a look here on how to convert an xml-string to dict: How to convert an XML string to a dictionary?

Using one of the answers there, I did the following:

In [6]: from xml.etree import cElementTree as ET

In [7]: ET.XML(tif_tags["FEI_TITAN"])
Out[7]: <Element 'Metadata' at 0x7f9be8207630>

In [8]: from copy import copy
   ...: 
   ...: def dictify(r,root=True):
   ...:     if root:
   ...:         return {r.tag : dictify(r, False)}
   ...:     d=copy(r.attrib)
   ...:     if r.text:
   ...:         d["_text"]=r.text
   ...:     for x in r.findall("./*"):
   ...:         if x.tag not in d:
   ...:             d[x.tag]=[]
   ...:         d[x.tag].append(dictify(x,False))
   ...:     return d
   ...: 

In [9]: dictify(ET.XML(tif_tags["FEI_TITAN"]))
