python - Determining Bounding Points of UAV Images



I know the EXIF data from drones contains the GPS point central to the photo to provide photo location. What I'd like is to determine the lat/lon of the four corners of the image. I've done a pretty focused Google search and also checked this site to no avail.


Does anyone have insight into how this might be done? My initial thoughts are it would somehow have to incorporate the height AGL of the drone when the image is taken, the image size in pixels, and possibly some of the camera info (focal length or such).


What I'm trying to do is set the bounding coordinates for the photo and then determine if there is a GIS asset in the image area. The photo could then be linked to the asset in the attribute table and brought up via a hotlink.


How can I find the coordinates of the photo corners?
