How can I obtain average direction of the pattern shown in the figure below. It is the direction of the red arrow relative to the yellow (horizontal) line. Any ideas for an approach? I couldn't figure out a way to approach. This is a spatio-temporal image created from a video. Thank you.

your question is not clear. but it reminds me Discrete Fourier Transform

Where is the pattern in the last image? Are those white lines on the right a part of the pattern as well?

Depends on what kind of pattern it is - if it's always similar to the one you've showed here (i.e. multiple thin lines), you can try Hough transform - detect all the lines and then just average them. In openCV, detected lines are described with two points, so just average all the first points describing the lines, and then do the same with the second points. Then it's enough to either visualize it or calculate the horizontal angle depending on what kind of results you are expecting.
