LuaScript

The Lua script that returns the rotation to apply to the input image, in degrees, clockwise.

Specify one of the following:

TIP: If your script is relatively short, for example a single line, you can set the parameter LuaLine instead of LuaScript. The LuaLine parameter allows you to specify a small amount of Lua code directly in the configuration file, removing the need for a separate script file.

The Lua script must define a function named getAngle, which must return the angle. Media Server can rotate images in 90-degree increments, so all other angles are rounded.

The following is an example Lua script that you could use to rotate images based on the angle of a face detected in the image, or text detected in the image. In this example, the angles returned are negative, so the rotation is anticlockwise.

function getAngle(record)
  if (record.OCRResultAndImage) then
     return -record.OCRResultAndImage.angle
  elseif (record.FaceResultAndImage) then
     return -record.FaceResultAndImage.face.ellipse.angle
  elseif (record.FaceRecognitionResultAndImage) then
     return -record.FaceRecognitionResultAndImage.face.ellipse.angle
  elseif (record.DemographicsResultAndImage) then
     return -record.DemographicsResultAndImage.face.ellipse.angle
  elseif (record.FaceStateResultAndImage) then
     return -record.FaceStateResultAndImage.face.ellipse.angle
  end
  
  return 0
end
