iphone image captured from camera rotate -90 degree automatically

Question

Programatically I have fetched image from my camera in my app. It has been fetched nicely but when I shift to another view and dismiss that view at that time my image automatically rotate -90 degree.

and this change occurs only first time after that when I shift no change occurs means image stays in -90 degree state and this happens only when I captued image from camera. when I fetch image from photo library no issue has been found.

following image is my original image

Original image

and this is rotated image

rotated image

I don't know why this change happen.

save this image to library and see whether image is rotated or not? — Inder Kumar Rathore, Feb 17 '12 at 07:02
@InderKumarRathore: I capture image from device camera stored in library then I took that image in my app then it is also rotated — iPhone, Feb 17 '12 at 07:07

you have to use this function to rotate image captured by camera

 - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
                didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image
                                    editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo
{
    image = [self scaleAndRotateImage:image];
    [self useImage:image];
    [[picker parentViewController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}


- (void)scaleAndRotateImage:(UIImage *)image
{
    int kMaxResolution = 320; // Or whatever

    CGImageRef imgRef = image.CGImage;

    CGFloat width = CGImageGetWidth(imgRef);
    CGFloat height = CGImageGetHeight(imgRef);

    CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
    CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height);
    if (width > kMaxResolution || height > kMaxResolution) {
        CGFloat ratio = width/height;
        if (ratio > 1) {
            bounds.size.width = kMaxResolution;
            bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width / ratio;
        }
        else {
            bounds.size.height = kMaxResolution;
            bounds.size.width = bounds.size.height * ratio;
        }
    }

    CGFloat scaleRatio = bounds.size.width / width;
    CGSize imageSize = CGSizeMake(CGImageGetWidth(imgRef), CGImageGetHeight(imgRef));
    CGFloat boundHeight;
    UIImageOrientation orient = image.imageOrientation;
    switch(orient) {

        case UIImageOrientationUp: //EXIF = 1
            transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
            break;

        case UIImageOrientationUpMirrored: //EXIF = 2
            transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(imageSize.width, 0.0);
            transform = CGAffineTransformScale(transform, -1.0, 1.0);
            break;

        case UIImageOrientationDown: //EXIF = 3
            transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(imageSize.width, imageSize.height);

i have the same problem in my app and i have tried your but it doesnt effect. Image still rotates. What can be the issue? — Purva, Oct 03 '12 at 06:58
After running an image that was obtained from a AVCaptureVideoDataOutput within an AVCaptureSession as a CGImageRef converted directly to UIImage it doesn't seem to do anything. I changed the orient variable to be set to [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] (making sure this runs in the main thread) but the whole thing is still rotated by 90 deg. What's the recommended way to adjust for orientation? — 0x6A75616E, Nov 30 '12 at 07:06
@thatjuan i didn't get your point. can you send me demo for this? so I can solve your problem — Hiren, Nov 30 '12 at 07:40
@Hi Ren I've posted a question about it here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13640746/what-is-the-recommended-way-to-deal-with-avcapturevideodataoutput-image-data-reg if you want to take a look — 0x6A75616E, Nov 30 '12 at 08:01

The most simplest way to overcome this problem is by scaling the image inside didFinishPickingImage delegate. You can use the following code to scale by importing a class "UIImage+ImageScaling.h".

theImage =[UIImage imageWithImage:image scaledToSizeWithSameAspectRatio:CGSizeMake(400, 300)]; // for iphone.

This method works for me,

- (UIImage*) rotateImageAppropriately:(UIImage*)imageToRotate
{
   UIImage* properlyRotatedImage;

   CGImageRef imageRef = [imageToRotate CGImage];

   if (imageToRotate.imageOrientation == 0)
   {
       properlyRotatedImage = imageToRotate;
   }
   else if (imageToRotate.imageOrientation == 3)
   {

       CGSize imgsize = imageToRotate.size;
       UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(imgsize);
       [imageToRotate drawInRect:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, imgsize.width, imgsize.height)];
       properlyRotatedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
       UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
   }
   else if (imageToRotate.imageOrientation == 1)
   {
       properlyRotatedImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef scale:1.0 orientation:1];
   }

   return properlyRotatedImage;
}

The bad behavior has now changed with 13.4. Images are now captured with accurate orientation.

Try this property

@property (nonatomic) CGAffineTransform cameraViewTransform

and rotate is with -90 degree and then capture the image. If doesn't work the use the code given by Cocoa Matters.

It is due to your image orientation. so keep original image orientation. you will get the image orientation in your UIImagePickerController delegate method

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info

sample code:

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{

    UIImage *sourceImage = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];

    NSData *data = UIImagePNGRepresentation(sourceImage);
    UIImage *tmp = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
    UIImage *afterFixingOrientation = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:tmp.CGImage
                                         scale:sourceImage.scale
                                   orientation:sourceImage.imageOrientation];

    [self.imagePickerController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

iphone image captured from camera rotate -90 degree automatically
