Abstract
In one implementation, a method includes: obtaining an input image, wherein the input image is captured by an image sensor having a rotational orientation with respect to a direction of gravity; obtaining a gravity direction estimation associated with the rotational orientation of the sensor; generating, from the input image, a rotationally preprocessed input image by applying one or more transformations to the input image based on the gravity direction estimation; providing the rotationally preprocessed input image to the machine learning sub-system; and identifying, using the machine learning sub-system, a visual feature within the rotationally preprocessed input image.
