A method of detecting the orientation of aligned components

This report describes a method of detecting the orientation of a set components which are located along parallel lines. the orientation is detected by using the histogram of nearest neighbor directions. Examples are given using three kinds of images: envelope images, Glass patterns of dots, and aerial photographs of houses.
