the orientation for original image is ccw90,
algorithm uses original image to detect with no manual rotate,
but, visualization of fiftyone rotate the image automatically to keep image looks correct just like Windows Explorer this causes mismatch for labels and image in view

Research direction
Investigate how FiftyOne loads and displays images, particularly handling of EXIF orientation metadata. Look for image rendering code in both the Python backend (e.g., media processing) and the React frontend (e.g., Image component). Search for keywords like 'orientation', 'EXIF', or 'rotate' in the codebase. Check if the issue is in the automatic rotation applied by the frontend for display, and confirm the expected behavior with maintainers.
