iPhone App Picture Taking Issue - iphone

Question

We have a problem with picture taking feature for our recent iPhone app. We are taking the picture and sending to the server for saving this picture.
Whenever we take a picture with the phone on a vertical position, captured images shows upside down. But when we hold the phone horizontally, picture shows correctly. Can someone help to fix this issue?

following code is implement and solve your problem,
- (UIImage *)scaleAndRotateImage:(UIImage *)image {
int kMaxResolution = 640; // 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 = roundf(bounds.size.width / ratio);
}
else {
bounds.size.height = kMaxResolution;
bounds.size.width = roundf(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);
transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, M_PI);
break;
case UIImageOrientationDownMirrored: //EXIF = 4
transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0.0, imageSize.height);
transform = CGAffineTransformScale(transform, 1.0, -1.0);
break;
case UIImageOrientationLeftMirrored: //EXIF = 5
boundHeight = bounds.size.height;
bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width;
bounds.size.width = boundHeight;
transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(imageSize.height, imageSize.width);
transform = CGAffineTransformScale(transform, -1.0, 1.0);
transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, 3.0 * M_PI / 2.0);
break;
case UIImageOrientationLeft: //EXIF = 6
boundHeight = bounds.size.height;
bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width;
bounds.size.width = boundHeight;
transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0.0, imageSize.width);
transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, 3.0 * M_PI / 2.0);
break;
case UIImageOrientationRightMirrored: //EXIF = 7
boundHeight = bounds.size.height;
bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width;
bounds.size.width = boundHeight;
transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(-1.0, 1.0);
transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, M_PI / 2.0);
break;
case UIImageOrientationRight: //EXIF = 8
boundHeight = bounds.size.height;
bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width;
bounds.size.width = boundHeight;
transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(imageSize.height, 0.0);
transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, M_PI / 2.0);
break;
default:
[NSException raise:NSInternalInconsistencyException format:#"Invalid image orientation"];
}
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(bounds.size);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
if (orient == UIImageOrientationRight || orient == UIImageOrientationLeft) {
CGContextScaleCTM(context, -scaleRatio, scaleRatio);
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, -height, 0);
}
else {
CGContextScaleCTM(context, scaleRatio, -scaleRatio);
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, -height);
}
CGContextConcatCTM(context, transform);
CGContextDrawImage(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), imgRef);
UIImage *imageCopy = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return imageCopy;
}
Calling the function
imagVctr.image= UIImagePNGRepresentation([self scaleAndRotateImage:self.imgForEvent]);
may this code much more help to you.
