The techniques include receiving an original image depicting an oblique view of a circular object (402) and pre-processing the original image into an edge image (404). The techniques further include generating, by a machine learning model based on the edge image, a heatmap including an ellipse formed by the oblique view of the circular object (406). The techniques further include computing ellipse parameters describing the ellipse of the heatmap (408). The techniques further include performing, using the ellipse parameters, an affine transformation on the original image to generate a rectified image, where the rectified image converts the ellipse to a circle (410)."
