Abstract

Various embodiments relate to systems and methods for orienting an image captured by a camera (e.g., on a wearable computing device such as a smartwatch). The system can include an orientation sensor (e.g., one or more accelerometers) for detecting the orientation of the camera. In some embodiments, a controller can modify (e.g., crop and/or rotate) a first image captured by the camera (e.g., at a misaligned orientation) to produce a second image. In some embodiments, an actuator can move (e.g., rotate) the camera to an aligned position before the image is captured. The controller can use information from the orientation sensor to determine an amount of rotation to be applied to the camera and/or to the first image in order to orient the image at the desired orientation.
