Deep Image Orientation Angle Detection

Estimating and rectifying the orientation angle of any image is a pretty challenging task. Initial work used the hand engineering features for this purpose, where after the invention of deep learning using convolution-based neural network showed significant improvement in this problem. However, this paper shows that the combination of CNN and a custom loss function specially designed for angles lead to a state-of-the-art results. This includes the estimation of the orientation angle of any image or document at any degree (0 to 360 degree),
