How can I use scipy.ndimage.interpolation.affine_transform to rotate an image about its centre?

问题:

I am perplexed by the API to scipy.ndimage.interpolation.affine_transform. And judging by this issue I'm not the only one. I'm actually wanting to do more interesting things with affine_transform than just rotating an image, but a rotation would do for starters. (And yes I'm well aware of scipy.ndimage.interpolation.rotate, but figuring out how to drive affine_transform is what interests me here).

When I want to do this sort of thing in systems like OpenGL, I'm think in terms of computing the transform which applies a 2x2 rotation matrix R about a centre c, and therefore thinking of points p being transformed (p-c)R+c = pR+c-cR, which gives a c-cR term to be used as the translation component of a transform. However, according to the issue above, scipy's affine_transform does "offset first" so we actually need to compute an offset s such that (p-c)R+c=(p+s)R which with a bit of rearrangement gives s=(c-cR)R' where R' is the inverse of R.

If I plug this into an ipython notebook (pylab mode; code below maybe needs some additional imports):

img=scipy.misc.lena() #imshow(img,cmap=cm.gray);show() centre=0.5*array(img.shape) a=15.0*pi/180.0 rot=array([[cos(a),sin(a)],[-sin(a),cos(a)]]) offset=(centre-centre.dot(rot)).dot(linalg.inv(rot)) rotimg=scipy.ndimage.interpolation.affine_transform(     img,rot,order=2,offset=offset,cval=0.0,output=float32 ) imshow(rotimg,cmap=cm.gray);show() 

I get

which unfortunately isn't rotated about the centre.

So what's the trick I'm missing here?

Just doing some quick & dirty testing I noticed that taking the negative value of your offset seems to rotate about the centre.

Once treddy's answer got me a working baseline, I managed to get a better working model of affine_transform. It's not actually as odd as the issue linked in the original question hints.

Basically, each point (coordinate) p in the output image is transformed to pT+s where T and s are the matrix and offset passed to the function. So if we want point c_out in the output to be mapped to and sampled from c_in from the input image, with rotation R and (possibly anisotropic) scaling S we need pT+s = (p-c_out)RS+c_in which can be rearranged to yield s = (c_int-c_out)T (with T=RS).

For some reason I then need to pass transform.T to affine_transform but I'm not going to worry about that too much; probably something to do with row-coordinates with transforms on the right (assumed above) vs column-coordinates with transforms on the left.

So here's a simple test rotating a centred image:

src=scipy.misc.lena() c_in=0.5*array(src.shape) c_out=array((256.0,256.0)) for i in xrange(0,7):     a=i*15.0*pi/180.0     transform=array([[cos(a),-sin(a)],[sin(a),cos(a)]])     offset=c_in-c_out.dot(transform)     dst=scipy.ndimage.interpolation.affine_transform(         src,transform.T,order=2,offset=offset,output_shape=(512,512),cval=0.0,output=float32     )     subplot(1,7,i+1);axis('off');imshow(dst,cmap=cm.gray) show() 

Here's it modified for different image sizes

src=scipy.misc.lena()[::2,::2] c_in=0.5*array(src.shape) c_out=array((256.0,256.0)) for i in xrange(0,7):     a=i*15.0*pi/180.0     transform=array([[cos(a),-sin(a)],[sin(a),cos(a)]])     offset=c_in-c_out.dot(transform)     dst=scipy.ndimage.interpolation.affine_transform(         src,transform.T,order=2,offset=offset,output_shape=(512,512),cval=0.0,output=float32     )     subplot(1,7,i+1);axis('off');imshow(dst,cmap=cm.gray) show() 

And here's a version with anisotropic scaling to compensate for the anisotropic resolution of the source image.

src=scipy.misc.lena()[::2,::4] c_in=0.5*array(src.shape) c_out=array((256.0,256.0)) for i in xrange(0,7):     a=i*15.0*pi/180.0     transform=array([[cos(a),-sin(a)],[sin(a),cos(a)]]).dot(diag(([0.5,0.25])))     offset=c_in-c_out.dot(transform)     dst=scipy.ndimage.interpolation.affine_transform(         src,transform.T,order=2,offset=offset,output_shape=(512,512),cval=0.0,output=float32     )     subplot(1,7,i+1);axis('off');imshow(dst,cmap=cm.gray) show()

Based on the insight from @timday that matrix and offset are defined in the output coordinate system, I would offer the following reading of the issue, which fits with standard notations in linear algebra and allows to understand the scaling of images as well. I use here T.inv=T^-1 as pseudo-python notation to mean the inverse of a matrix and * to mean the dot product.

For each point o in the output image, affine_transform finds the corresponding point i in the input image as i=T.inv*o+s, where matrix=T.inv is the inverse of the 2x2 transformation matrix that one would use to define the forward affine transformation and offset=s is the translation defined in the output coordinates. For a pure rotation T=R=[[cos,-sin],[sin,cos]], and in this special case matrix=T.inv=T.T, which is the reason why @timday had to apply the transposition still (alternatively one could just use the negative angle).

The value for the offset s is found exactly the way described by @timday: if c_in is supposed to be positioned, after the affine transformation, at c_out (e.g. the input centre should be placed at the output centre) then c_in=T.inv*c_out+s or s=c_in-T.inv*c_out (note the conventional mathematical order of the matrix product used here, matrix*vector, which is why @timday, who used the revers order, didn't need a transposition at this point in his code).

If one wants a scaling S first and then a rotation R it holds that T=R*S and therefore T.inv=S.inv*R.inv (note the reversed order). For example, if one wants to make the image double as wide in the columns direction ('x'), then S=diag((1, 2)), hence S.inv=diag((1, 0.5)).

src = scipy.misc.lena() c_in = 0.5 * array(src.shape) dest_shape = (512, 1028) c_out = 0.5 * array(dest_shape) for i in xrange(0, 7):     a = i * 15.0 * pi / 180.0     rot = array([[cos(a), -sin(a)], [sin(a), cos(a)]])     invRot = rot.T     invScale = diag((1.0, 0.5))     invTransform = dot(invScale, invRot)     offset = c_in - dot(invTransform, c_out)     dest = scipy.ndimage.interpolation.affine_transform(         src, invTransform, order=2, offset=offset, output_shape=dest_shape, cval=0.0, output=float32     )     subplot(1, 7, i + 1);axis('off');imshow(dest, cmap=cm.gray) show() 

If the image is to be first rotated, then stretched, the order of the dot product needs to be reversed:

invTransform = dot(invRot, invScale)
