I am making a image processing method for calculating the angle of rotation. I made another for getting the X and Y coordinates of each border pixel.
I need some directions where I can start.
Exmaple image
I want to find out the question mark angles of the image to calculate it but I cant figure out anything yet.
Some code will be nice.

Suppose you have
     -------------------------------------

|                     P2={X2,Y2}
|                   /
|                  /
|                 /
|                /
|               /
|              /  alpha
|             / .............
|              P1={X1,Y1}
|


Then math.atan2(Y2-Y1,X2-X1) gives you the alpha angle. All the other ones are then simply computed.

If you have the X and Y of each border, then you have the X and Y of each of the four lines that makes up the square.

So working out the angle is easy: school level geometry.
Take one of the angles - the top right in your example.
You know the coordinates of the line that is part of the square: P1, and P2, so you know the difference in X coordinates: P2.X - P1.X
That allows you to make a right angle triangle, where you know the Hypotenuse (from Pythagoras on P1 and P2) and Adjacent line lengths ( the difference in X co-ords).
So you can work out the angle simply:

Theta = Cos-1(A/H)

You covered all this in Maths class when you were what? 12? :laugh:

I didn;'t say you weren't: I said they taught you this stuff 12 years ago, when you were 12! :laugh:

Arc cos in 5th grade, are you serious ?!
OriginalGriff 13-Mar-14 8:38am    
You mean you didn't get that?
What do they teach you then, these days? :laugh:

This is a test for 5th grade students.
This works perfectly for me

const double Rad2Deg = 180.0 / Math.PI;
const double Deg2Rad = Math.PI / 180.0;

/// <summary>
/// Calculates angle in radians between two points and x-axis.
/// </summary>
private double Angle(Point start, Point end)
{
    return Math.Atan2(start.Y - end.Y, end.X - start.X) * Rad2Deg;
}

Using Atan2 was already explained in solution 1, back in 2014.

And your method doesn't match its own comments. The comments claim the return value is in radians, but the return value is in degrees.
