11.Picture rotation

Image rotation refers to the process of rotating an image at a certain angle according to a certain position. The image still maintains its original size during rotation. After the image is rotated, the horizontal symmetry axis, vertical symmetry axis and center coordinate origin of the image may be transformed, so the coordinates in the image rotation need to be converted accordingly. As shown below:

Assuming that the image is rotated counterclockwise by θ, the rotation transformation can be obtained according to the coordinate transformation as:

but

(2)By bringing in (1), we can get:

That is as follows:

The grayscale value of the rotated picture is equal to the grayscale value of the corresponding position in the original picture as follows:

f(x′,y′)=f(x,y)

The above is the principle of rotation, but the API provided by OpenCV can directly obtain the transformation matrix through functions. The syntax format of this function is:

matRotate = cv2.getRotationMatrix2D(center, angle, scale)

center:center point of rotation

angle:The angle of rotation. Positive numbers are counterclockwise; negative numbers are clockwise.

scale:Transform the scale (zoom the size). 1 means no change, less than 1 means shrinking, and greater than 1 means enlarging.

The following will display the comparison between the original image and the rotated image in the jupyterLab control.
