Abstract
Embodiments relate to automatic perspective and horizon correction. Generally, a camera captures an image as an image file. Capture-time orientation data from one or more sensors is used to determine the camera's attitude with respect to a defined reference frame. The orientation data and/or attitude can be registered into metadata of the image file and used to generate axis lines representative of the camera's reference frame. A reference line such as a horizon can be automatically identified from detected line segments in the image that align with one of the axis lines within a predetermined angular threshold. The reference line can be used to generate a camera transformation from a starting orientation reflected by the camera attitude to a transformed orientation that aligns the reference line with the reference frame. The transformation can be applied to the image to automatically correct perspective distortion and/or horizon tilt in the image.
