Image Rotation with Open cv and C++

In real time scenarios some times we need to apply the geometric transformation on the images like rotation etc. This process includes rotating the entire image around the center of the image. It is better to map the rotated image on other image like blank image. In digital computers images are treated as the matrices or two dimensional vectors.

Int his process we find some image points falling on the outside of the boundaries. There are lot of procedures to deal with this type of problems. One is leaving those points. Second one is plotting the rotated image on the larger canvas.

In digital computer this process becomes simple matrix multiplication. In geometry as well this process is represented as the matrix operations. In image processing this type of transformations are called affine transforms.

Mathematically whole precess can be represented in two steps.

x2=cos(t)*(x1-x0)-sin(t)*(y1-y0)+x0
y2=sin(t)*(x1-x0)+cos(t)*(y1-y0)+y0

x2 is the new coordinate of the rotated image corresponding to x1 of original image similarly y2.
t is the required angle of rotation.  x0 and y0 or the center coordinates of the image.

The fallowing code snippet written in open cv and c++ does the exactly same.

            int ny=(sine*(i-cx))+(cosine*(j-cy))+cy;
            if((nx>=0)&&(ny>=0)&&(nx<=img.rows)&&(ny<=img.cols))
            {
            nimg.at<uchar>(nx,ny)=img.at<uchar>(i,j);
            }
        }
