Patent Images

1. A method comprising:

  • extracting a plurality of edgelets from an image, each edgelet defined by a location of a pixel having an edge depicted in the image and each edgelet defined by a direction of the edge;

    finding at least one vanishing point in the image based on intersections of pairs of the edges of the edgelets, wherein the at least one vanishing point is selected based on a plurality of the edgelets in the image having edges approximately aligned with the at least one vanishing point; and

    using the at least one vanishing point to transform the image to reduce distortion in the image.
