// Handle image upload meta for SEO. This will Sanitize the title: remove hyphens, underscores & extra spaces: if the images are named for SEO it does the job for you!

add_action( 'add_attachment', 'my_set_image_meta_upon_image_upload' );
function my_set_image_meta_upon_image_upload( $post_ID ) {

  // Check if uploaded file is an image, else do nothing
  if ( wp_attachment_is_image( $post_ID ) ) {

    $my_image_title = get_post( $post_ID )->post_title;

    // Sanitize the title:  remove hyphens, underscores & extra spaces:
    $my_image_title = preg_replace( '%\s*[-_\s]+\s*%', ' ',  $my_image_title );

    // Sanitize the title:  capitalize first letter of every word (other letters lower case):
    $my_image_title = ucwords( strtolower( $my_image_title ) );

    // Create an array with the image meta (Title, Caption, Description) to be updated
    // Note:  comment out the Excerpt/Caption or Content/Description lines if not needed
    $my_image_meta = array(
      'ID' => $post_ID,      // Specify the image (ID) to be updated
      'post_title' => $my_image_title,   // Set image Title to sanitized title
      //'post_excerpt' => $my_image_title,   // Set image Caption (Excerpt) to sanitized title
      'post_content' => $my_image_title,   // Set image Description (Content) to sanitized title
    );

    // Set the image Alt-Text
    update_post_meta( $post_ID, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', $my_image_title );

    // Set the image meta (e.g. Title, Excerpt, Content)
    wp_update_post( $my_image_meta );

  } 
}
