@TechReport{Dartmouth:TR2005-545, author = {Siwei Lyu}, title = {{Automatic Image Orientation Determination with Natural Image Statistics}}, institution = {Dartmouth College, Computer Science}, address = {Hanover, NH}, number = {TR2005-545}, year = {2004}, month = {October}, URL = {http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/reports/TR2005-545.pdf}, abstract = { In this paper, we propose a new method for automatically determining image orientations. This method is based on a set of natural image statistics collected from a multi-scale multi-orientation image decomposition (e.g., wavelets). From these statistics, a two-stage hierarchal classification with multiple binary SVM classifiers is employed to de- termine image orientation. The proposed method is evaluated and compared to existing methods with experiments performed on 18040 natural images, where it showed promising performance. } }
