img-mapping

Andy Eschbacher, Aug, 2015

This program does this:

1. extracts latitude and longitude from the EXIF data of images
2. pushes images to an AWS S3 bucket
3. generates a csv file with the extracted geo data and url of images
4. pushes csv to CartoDB

To get started:

• install aws command line tools: https://aws.amazon.com/cli/
• install these python modules (pip install module_name usually works)
  • glob
  • PIL
  • boto
• install development version of cartodb's python module:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/CartoDB/cartodb-python.git#egg=cartodb

• rename config.sample.json to config.json and fill in your CartoDB username and API key. Be sure not to push this file to GitHub!

Very helpful code on EXIF data extraction adapted from https://github.com/96chan/extract_EXIF.
