Abstract
In one example embodiment, a device includes an object detector configured to: rotate an image multiple times in increments of a predetermined number of degrees, detect upright occurrences of at least one object from the image at each incremental rotation of the image, and divide the detected occurrences of the at least one detected object, at each incremental rotation of the image, into a corresponding classification; and a direction manager configured to: determine a normal direction of the image, based on a number of detected occurrences of the at least one detected object, at each incremental rotation of the image, for each corresponding classification.

A device, comprising:
- an object detector configured to:
- rotate an image multiple times in increments of a predetermined number of degrees,
- detect upright occurrences of at least one object from the image at each incremental rotation of the image, and
- divide the detected occurrences of the at least one detected object, at each incremental rotation of the image, into a corresponding classification;
- and
- a direction manager configured to:
- determine a normal direction of the image, based on a number of detected occurrences of the at least one detected object, at each incremental rotation of the image, for each corresponding classification.
A device, comprising:
- a first object detector configured to:
- rotate an image multiple times in increments of a predetermined number of degrees, and
- count a first number of rotations for the image until at least one first object is detected in the image;
- a second object detector configured to:
- rotate the image multiple times in increments of the predetermined number of degrees, and
- count a second number of rotations for the image until at least one second object is detected in the image;
- and
- a direction manager configured to:
- determine a normal direction of the image to be a perspective of the image after either the first number of rotations of the image or the second number of rotations of the image, based on an order of priorities of the first object and the second object.
A device, comprising:
- a first object detector configured to:
- determine a first number of rotations for an image until at least one occurrence of a first object is detected in the image, and
- count a number of occurrences of the first object;
- a second object detector configured to:
- determine a second number of rotations for the image until at least one occurrence of a second object is detected in the image, and
- count a number of occurrences of the second object;
- and
- a direction manager configured to:
- determine a normal direction of the image to be a perspective of the image after either the first number of rotations of the image or the second number of rotations of the image based on a comparison of the number of occurrences of the first object to the number of occurrences of the second object.
