Abstract
A method of processing a digital image to produce an improved digital image, includes receiving the digital image captured with a camera; determining a first vanishing point associated with the digital image; determining a second vanishing point associated with the digital image corresponding to a direction orthogonal the first vanishing point; determining a transform for modifying the digital image based on the first vanishing point and the second vanishing point; and applying the transform to the digital image to produce an improved digital image.
Claims4
A method of processing a digital image to produce an improved digital image, comprising:
- Using a computer to perform the following steps
- (a) receiving the digital image captured with a camera;
- (b) determining a first vanishing point associated with the digital image that relates to the direction of gravity relative to the coordinate system of the camera;
- (c) determining a second vanishing point associated with the digital image corresponding to a direction orthogonal the first vanishing point;
- (d) determining a transform for modifying the digital image based on the first vanishing point and the second vanishing point;
- and
- (e) applying the transform to the digital image to produce an improved digital image.
