Scipy rotate and zoom an image without changing its dimensions

Question

For my neural network I want to augment my training data by adding small random rotations and zooms to my images. The issue I am having is that scipy is changing the size of my

Answer 1

scipy.ndimage.rotate accepts a reshape= parameter:

reshape : bool, optional

If reshape is true, the output shape is adapted so that the input array is contained completely in the output. Default is True.

So to "clip" the edges you can simply call scipy.ndimage.rotate(img, ..., reshape=False).

from scipy.ndimage import rotate
from scipy.misc import face
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

img = face()
rot = rotate(img, 30, reshape=False)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2)
ax[0].imshow(img)
ax[1].imshow(rot)

Things are more complicated for scipy.ndimage.zoom.

A naive method would be to zoom the entire input array, then use slice indexing and/or zero-padding to make the output the same size as your input. However, in cases where you're increasing the size of the image it's wasteful to interpolate pixels that are only going to get clipped off at the edges anyway.

Instead you could index only the part of the input that will fall within the bounds of the output array before you apply zoom:

import numpy as np
from scipy.ndimage import zoom


def clipped_zoom(img, zoom_factor, **kwargs):

    h, w = img.shape[:2]

    # For multichannel images we don't want to apply the zoom factor to the RGB
    # dimension, so instead we create a tuple of zoom factors, one per array
    # dimension, with 1's for any trailing dimensions after the width and height.
    zoom_tuple = (zoom_factor,) * 2 + (1,) * (img.ndim - 2)

    # Zooming out
    if zoom_factor < 1:

        # Bounding box of the zoomed-out image within the output array
        zh = int(np.round(h * zoom_factor))
        zw = int(np.round(w * zoom_factor))
        top = (h - zh) // 2
        left = (w - zw) // 2

        # Zero-padding
        out = np.zeros_like(img)
        out[top:top+zh, left:left+zw] = zoom(img, zoom_tuple, **kwargs)

    # Zooming in
    elif zoom_factor > 1:

        # Bounding box of the zoomed-in region within the input array
        zh = int(np.round(h / zoom_factor))
        zw = int(np.round(w / zoom_factor))
        top = (h - zh) // 2
        left = (w - zw) // 2

        out = zoom(img[top:top+zh, left:left+zw], zoom_tuple, **kwargs)

        # `out` might still be slightly larger than `img` due to rounding, so
        # trim off any extra pixels at the edges
        trim_top = ((out.shape[0] - h) // 2)
        trim_left = ((out.shape[1] - w) // 2)
        out = out[trim_top:trim_top+h, trim_left:trim_left+w]

    # If zoom_factor == 1, just return the input array
    else:
        out = img
    return out

For example:

zm1 = clipped_zoom(img, 0.5)
zm2 = clipped_zoom(img, 1.5)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 3)
ax[0].imshow(img)
ax[1].imshow(zm1)
ax[2].imshow(zm2)
