Resize an image without distortion OpenCV

Question

I am using python 3 and latest version of openCV. I am trying to resize an image using the resize function provided but after resizing the image is very distorted. Code :

Answer 1

The code is given a window_height by which it calculates the window_width variable while maintaining the aspect ratio of the image. In order to prevent it from any distortion.

import cv2

def resize(self,image,window_height = 500):
    aspect_ratio = float(image.shape[1])/float(image.shape[0])
    window_width = window_height/aspect_ratio
    image = cv2.resize(image, (int(window_height),int(window_width)))
    return image

img = cv2.imread(img_source)         #image location
img_resized = resize(img,window_height = 800)
cv2.imshow("Resized",img_resized)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
