Rotate image by 90, 180 or 270 degrees

Question

I need to rotate an image by either 90, 180 or 270 degrees. In OpenCV4Android I can use:

Imgproc.getRotationMatrix2D(new Point(center, center), degrees, 1);         


        

Answer 1

This will rotate an image any number of degrees, using the most efficient means for multiples of 90.

    void
    rotate_cw(const cv::Mat& image, cv::Mat& dest, int degrees)
    {
        switch (degrees % 360) {
            case 0:
                dest = image.clone();
                break;
            case 90:
                cv::flip(image.t(), dest, 1);
                break;
            case 180:
                cv::flip(image, dest, -1);
                break;
            case 270:
                cv::flip(image.t(), dest, 0);
                break;
            default:
                cv::Mat r = cv::getRotationMatrix2D({image.cols/2.0F, image.rows/2.0F}, degrees, 1.0);
                int len = std::max(image.cols, image.rows);
                cv::warpAffine(image, dest, r, cv::Size(len, len));
                break; //image size will change
        }
    }

But with opencv 3.0, this is done by just via the cv::rotate command:

cv::rotate(image, dest, e.g. cv::ROTATE_90_COUNTERCLOCKWISE);
