Abstract
A method for determining the orientation of a digital image, includes the steps of: employing a semantic object detection method to detect the presence and orientation of a semantic object; employing a scene layout detection method to detect the orientation of a scene layout; and employing an arbitration method to produce an estimate of the image orientation from the orientation of the detected semantic object and the detected orientation of the scene layout.
Claims18
A method for determining the orientation of a digital image, comprising the steps of:
- a) employing a semantic object detection method to detect the presence and orientation of a semantic object;
- b) employing a scene layout detection method to detect the orientation of a scene layout;
- and
- c) employing an arbitration method to produce an estimate of the image orientation from the orientation of the detected semantic object and the detected orientation of the scene layout.

A system for processing a digital color image, comprising:
- a) a semantic object detector to determine the presence and orientation of a semantic object;
- b) a scene layout detector to determine the orientation of a scene layout;
- c) an arbitrator responsive to the orientation of the semantic object and the orientation of the scene layout to produce an estimate of the image orientation;
- and
- (d) an image rotator to re-orient the digital image in the upright direction.
