So, I have been assigned a task to read and save values of C-struct that was stored within tifftag of tiff image as byte buffer. This might be quite simple, but I am quite new to this realm of programming.
I know the exact positions I need to read bytes from. When I use python tiff tag readers, I get these weird values of bytes, that I could not make sense of. I was expecting it to be \xb5\x00\x00\x00\x01
format, not something strange like \n\xd7#=\n\xd7#=K.
Here is the snippet of weird buffer values
However, in utility app AsTiffViewer, those are perfectly fine as shown here.
How do I decode this? What does this all mean?
\n\xd7#=\n\xd7#=K (0A D7 23 3D 0A D7 23 3D - as per AsTiffViewer)
By the way, these 0A D7 23 3D & 0A D7 23 3D are supposed to be two float value, each of them 4 bytes.
I was expecting tiff tag byte buffer to be in format of\xb5\x00\x00\x00\x01 etc, However, it spit out some weird format - \n\xd7#=\n\xd7#=K. I don't know how to decode or read this.
So, after mucking around a bit, I found out that, \n\xd7#=\n\xd7#=K, this is nothing but how python represents float in binary string.
