Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for detection of the horizontal and gravity directions of an image, the method comprising: selecting equidistant sampling points in an image at an interval of the radius of the sampling circle of an attention focus detector; placing the center of the sampling circle of the attention focus detector on each of the sampling points, and using the attention focus detector to acquire attention focus coordinates and the corresponding significant orientation angle, and all the attention focus coordinates and the corresponding significant orientation angles constitute a set Ωp; using an orientation perceptron to determine a local orientation angle and a weight at the attention focus according to the gray image information, and generating a local orientation function; obtaining a sum of each of the local orientation functions as an image direction function; obtaining a function MCGCS(β), and further obtaining the horizontal and gravity identification angles.
