i want to find the rotation angle of the contents in two template

i tried radon transform method, but it doesn't work for
fig 1 http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/7269/dogk.png
and
fig 2 http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/5199/dog90.png

instead , it works for fig1 and
fig 3 http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1601/dog45.png
, and the angle can be found

Is there any way to find a rotation angle between fig1 and fing 2? thanks a million

The radon transform is based on integrating a function along a line until the line finally enters a region where the function remains all zero. Since the white background in a grey level picture is by definition up at some maximum value rather than zero, the line would have to be infinitely long, so your analysis would fail.

Just subtract your levels from the maximum background level and perform the radon transform on that. Your success with figure 3 is a strong hint in that direction.
