What is the best solution for rotation invariant detector?

I'd like to create an object detector based on cascade classifier, the only problem is that LBP and Haar features are not rotation invariant. There are many rotation invariant detectors, for example, iPhone recognizes faces in real time in any orientation, so I wonder how do they achieve this? The first thing that comes to my mind is to rotate the training sample at different angles, but I doubt that the resulting classifier would have good quality, moreover, the object could have stretched proportions.

LBP can be made rotational invariant. Compute all cyclic shifts and take the one which gives you the minimum.

Could you provide some more information about how to achieve this in OpenCV?

You can shift a value using '<<' odr '>>' oerator. See e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/776508/circular-shift-operations-in-c , see also http://www.cse.oulu.fi/CMV/TalksAndTutorials for a tutorial on lbp which also explains the rotational invariance by this step.

One solution for rotation invariant face detection is below steps:

1- Use skin detection for estimate face blobs . 

2- Fit ellipse on every blob for recognition dimension of blob .

3- Clear extra blobs.

4- Compute the average of ellipses angle. 

5- Rotate input image by above angle.

I need to detect logos, not faces, moreover, input images could be in grayscale.

Hi Lizris, I know this is kind of an old question. Did you find a workable answer to this?
