Hi. How was this image created?

If I open the image and print im.info["exif"] the output is b'Exif\x00\x00'.

If I inspect the image with exiftool, part of the output is

Warning                         : Malformed APP1 EXIF segment

So can you demonstrate in any way that the image isn't malformed, or that there is EXIF data to be found?

Sorry for late reply. And I don't know clearly about these images, because they are contained in a dataset, named MHP:Multi-Human Parsing. This error occurs when I tried to load them in detectron2, detectron2 issue #1885. Thanks for your reply.

Could you link to the image in the detectron2 repository, so that we can understand which image in there you've attached?

Closing, as there's no reason to think that the image isn't malformed.

This has re-appeared as #6123, so I've created #6124 to fix this.
