Description

This was initially reported as an Alfresco issue, https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-13004, but is actually a Tika problem. It seems that for some images, the geo metadata is being incorrectly rounded to an integer:

$ tika --metadata 2012-02-19\ 16.43.29.jpg | grep --text geo
geo:lat: 51.0
geo:long: -1.0

The image was actually taken at (as extracted by exiftool)

$ exiftool 2012-02-19\ 16.43.29.jpg | grep GPS
....
GPS Altitude : 295 m Above Sea Level
GPS Date/Time : 2012:02:20 16:44:22Z
GPS Latitude : 51 deg 34' 32.74" N
GPS Longitude : 1 deg 34' 4.39" W
GPS Position : 51 deg 34' 32.74" N, 1 deg 34' 4.39" W

The sample file for this example is available at <https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/secure/attachment/29236/2012-02-19+16.43.29.jpg>. We do have the OK to use the photo in a test suite, but it's possibly a bit big as-is so we may need to resize it whilst preserving the exif data for a unit test.
