OpenCV Python rotate image by X degrees around specific point

Question

I\'m having a hard time finding examples for rotating an image around a specific point by a specific (often very small) angle in Python using OpenCV.

This is what I

Answer 1

def rotate(image, angle, center = None, scale = 1.0):
    (h, w) = image.shape[:2]

    if center is None:
        center = (w / 2, h / 2)

    # Perform the rotation
    M = cv2.getRotationMatrix2D(center, angle, scale)
    rotated = cv2.warpAffine(image, M, (w, h))

    return rotated

Answer 2

import imutils

vs = VideoStream(src=0).start()
...

while (1):
   frame = vs.read()
   ...

   frame = imutils.rotate(frame, 45)

Answer 3

I had issues with some of the above solutions, with getting the correct "bounding_box" or new size of the image. Therefore here is my version

def rotation(image, angleInDegrees):
    h, w = image.shape[:2]
    img_c = (w / 2, h / 2)

    rot = cv2.getRotationMatrix2D(img_c, angleInDegrees, 1)

    rad = math.radians(angleInDegrees)
    sin = math.sin(rad)
    cos = math.cos(rad)
    b_w = int((h * abs(sin)) + (w * abs(cos)))
    b_h = int((h * abs(cos)) + (w * abs(sin)))

    rot[0, 2] += ((b_w / 2) - img_c[0])
    rot[1, 2] += ((b_h / 2) - img_c[1])

    outImg = cv2.warpAffine(image, rot, (b_w, b_h), flags=cv2.INTER_LINEAR)
    return outImg
