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.
