Include the dependency in your module definition:

angular.module('app', [

  <input type="file" name="myImage" image-with-preview
         ng-model="image"
         accept="image/jpeg,image/png"
         dimensions="height < 400 && width < 1800 && width > 2 * height"
         size="size < 2097152">
  <span class="error" ng-show="myForm.myImage.$error.image">
    Not a JPEG or a PNG!
  </span>
  <span class="error" ng-show="myForm.myImage.$error.dimensions">
    Invalid dimensions! Expecting a landscape image smaller than 1800x400.
  </span>
  <img ng-show="image.src" ng-src="{{image.src}}"/>
</form>
