Description

I'm trying to load the metadata from image files generated by a JAI-PULNIX camera, model TS-1327EN.

I am specifically interested in getting the following tag values:

ExifTagConstants.EXIF_TAG_IMAGE_DESCRIPTION,
ExifTagConstants.EXIF_TAG_DATE_TIME_ORIGINAL and
ExifTagConstants.EXIF_TAG_SUB_SEC_TIME_ORIGINAL.

But, when the following line of code is executed:

IImageMetadata metadata = Sanselan.getMetadata(file);

I get one of two errors:

java.io.IOException: Invalid Segment: insufficient data
	at org.apache.sanselan.common.BinaryFileFunctions.readByteArray(BinaryFileFunctions.java:497)
	at org.apache.sanselan.formats.jpeg.JpegUtils.traverseJFIF(JpegUtils.java:88)

or

Is there something wrong with the encoding of these images?

If that is the case I could contact JAI-PULNIX and ask them to fix it, but I'm not sure what the problem is.
