Does OpenCV support getting Exif data of images? Is there a program in OpenCV that parses the Exif data and get appropriate fields?

On a Windows PC using File Explorer right-click on the file you want to see the data for. You will see a window pop up with various options. Click on Properties and then on Details. This will bring up the EXIF data for that photo.
Almost all major operating systems can open an EXIF file. To open in Windows, right-click on the EXIF image file to view its data. Scroll down to Properties and then click on Details. For macOS, open the photo you want to view in Photos.
This metadata is stored in Exif (Exchangeable image file format), a format standard for the various types of media (e.g. images, videos, audio) taken by devices such as digital cameras and smartphones. The Python library used in this project is exif, which happens to be the namesake of the Exif format.
As of 3.1 opencv imread handles exif orientation perfectly. I know this is an old question, but I struggled to find an answer to this same question recently, so am posting here. Apparently cvLoadImage does not handle exif orientation correctly at this time according to a bug report on github.
You can find a nice set of sample images with different exif rotations and a good explanation here
