Image Capture Device Having Tilt And/Or Perspective Correction

A non-transitory program storage device, readable by a processor and comprising instructions stored thereon to cause one or more processors to:

• obtain an orientation measurement of an image capture device during an image display operation, wherein a displayed image comprises data representative of a scene;
• identify one or more straight edges in the data corresponding to straight edges in the scene;
• determine a difference based, at least in part, on the measured orientation of the image capture device and an orientation of at least one of the one or more straight edges in the data;
• modify the data when the difference is less than a threshold value;
• and display the modified data.

An image capture device, comprising:

• an image sensor;
• a lens assembly configured to focus light from a scene onto the image sensor;
• a sensor coupled to the image capture device;
• a display unit;
• a memory coupled to the image sensor and the display unit;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the sensor, the display unit and the memory and programmed to execute instructions stored in the memory to cause the one or more processors to
• display data representative of the scene on the display unit,
• obtain a signal from the sensor representative of an orientation measurement of the image capture device during display of the image data on the display unit, wherein the orientation measurement comprises an orientation measurement along each of one or more axes relative to the image capture device,
• identify one or more straight edges in the data corresponding to straight edges in the scene,
• determine a difference based, at least in part, on the orientation measurement and an orientation of at least one of the one or more straight edges in the data,
• modify the data when the difference is less than a threshold value, and
• display the modified data on the display unit.
