Easiest way to rotate by 90 degrees an image using OpenCV?

Question

What is the best way (in c/c++) to rotate an IplImage/cv::Mat by 90 degrees? I would assume that there must be something better than transforming it using a matrix, but I ca

Answer 1

Here is my python cv2 implementation:

import cv2

img=cv2.imread("path_to_image.jpg")

# rotate ccw
out=cv2.transpose(img)
out=cv2.flip(out,flipCode=0)

# rotate cw
out=cv2.transpose(img)
out=cv2.flip(out,flipCode=1)

cv2.imwrite("rotated.jpg", out)
