A method for evaluating an image with respect to a dominant line

In a method (1100) for evaluating an image with respect to a dominant line, warped mesh information is received with a view to the image saliency (1105). Displacements of components of the warped mesh information are determined relative to corresponding components in the undeformed-mesh information (1115). Statistical representations of the displacements are utilized to evaluate the image with respect to a dominant line (1125).
