Rotate image and crop out black borders

Question

My application: I am trying to rotate an image (using OpenCV and Python)

At the moment I have developed the below code which rotates an input image, padding it with black borders, giving me A. What I want is B - the largest possible area crop window within the rotated image. I call this the axis-aligned boundED box.

This is essentially the same as Rotate and crop, however I cannot get the answer on that question to work. Additionally, that answer is apparently only valid for square images. My images are rectangular.

Code to give A:

import cv2
import numpy as np


def getTranslationMatrix2d(dx, dy):
    """
    Returns a numpy affine transformation matrix for a 2D translation of
    (dx, dy)
    """
    return np.matrix([[1, 0, dx], [0, 1, dy], [0, 0, 1]])


def rotateImage(image, angle):
    """
    Rotates the given image about it's centre
    """

    image_size = (image.shape[1], image.shape[0])
    image_center = tuple(np.array(image_size) / 2)

    rot_mat = np.vstack([cv2.getRotationMatrix2D(image_center, angle, 1.0), [0, 0, 1]])
    trans_mat = np.identity(3)

    w2 = image_size[0] * 0.5
    h2 = image_size[1] * 0.5

    rot_mat_notranslate = np.matrix(rot_mat[0:2, 0:2])

    tl = (np.array([-w2, h2]) * rot_mat_notranslate).A[0]
    tr = (np.array([w2, h2]) * rot_mat_notranslate).A[0]
    bl = (np.array([-w2, -h2]) * rot_mat_notranslate).A[0]
    br = (np.array([w2, -h2]) * rot_mat_notranslate).A[0]

    x_coords = [pt[0] for pt in [tl, tr, bl, br]]

    x_neg = [x for x in x_coords if x < 0]

    y_coords = [pt[1] for pt in [tl, tr, bl, br]]
    y_pos = [y for y in y_coords if y > 0]
    y_neg = [y for y in y_coords if y < 0]

    right_bound = max(x_pos)
    left_bound = min(x_neg)
    top_bound = max(y_pos)
    bot_bound = min(y_neg)

    new_w = int(abs(right_bound - left_bound))
    new_h = int(abs(top_bound - bot_bound))
    new_image_size = (new_w, new_h)

    new_midx = new_w * 0.5
    new_midy = new_h * 0.5

    dx = int(new_midx - w2)
    dy = int(new_midy - h2)

    trans_mat = getTranslationMatrix2d(dx, dy)
    affine_mat = (np.matrix(trans_mat) * np.matrix(rot_mat))[0:2, :]
    result = cv2.warpAffine(image, affine_mat, new_image_size, flags=cv2.INTER_LINEAR)

    return result

Answer 1

Inspired by Coprox's amazing work I wrote a function that forms together with Coprox's code a complete solution (so it can be used by copying & pasting with no-brainer). The rotate_max_area function below simply returns a rotated image without black boundary.

def rotate_bound(image, angle):
    # CREDIT: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2017/01/02/rotate-images-correctly-with-opencv-and-python/
    (h, w) = image.shape[:2]
    (cX, cY) = (w // 2, h // 2)
    M = cv2.getRotationMatrix2D((cX, cY), -angle, 1.0)
    cos = np.abs(M[0, 0])
    sin = np.abs(M[0, 1])
    nW = int((h * sin) + (w * cos))
    nH = int((h * cos) + (w * sin))
    M[0, 2] += (nW / 2) - cX
    M[1, 2] += (nH / 2) - cY
    return cv2.warpAffine(image, M, (nW, nH))


def rotate_max_area(image, angle):
    """ image: cv2 image matrix object
        angle: in degree
    """
    wr, hr = rotatedRectWithMaxArea(image.shape[1], image.shape[0],
                                    math.radians(angle))
    rotated = rotate_bound(image, angle)
    h, w, _ = rotated.shape
    y1 = h//2 - int(hr/2)
    y2 = y1 + int(hr)
    x1 = w//2 - int(wr/2)
    x2 = x1 + int(wr)
    return rotated[y1:y2, x1:x2]

So, after investigating many claimed solutions, I have finally found a method that works; The answer by Andri and Magnus Hoff on Calculate largest rectangle in a rotated rectangle.

The below Python code contains the method of interest - largest_rotated_rect - and a short demo.

Simply place this image (cropped to demonstrate that it works with non-square images) in the same directory as the above file, then run it.

Answer 3

The math behind this solution/implementation is equivalent to this solution of an analagous question, but the formulas are simplified and avoid singularities. This is python code with the same interface as largest_rotated_rect from the other solution, but giving a bigger area in almost all cases (always the proven optimum):

def rotatedRectWithMaxArea(w, h, angle):
  """
  Given a rectangle of size wxh that has been rotated by 'angle' (in
  radians), computes the width and height of the largest possible
  axis-aligned rectangle (maximal area) within the rotated rectangle.
  """
  if w <= 0 or h <= 0:
    return 0,0

  width_is_longer = w >= h
  side_long, side_short = (w,h) if width_is_longer else (h,w)

  # since the solutions for angle, -angle and 180-angle are all the same,
  # if suffices to look at the first quadrant and the absolute values of sin,cos:
  sin_a, cos_a = abs(math.sin(angle)), abs(math.cos(angle))
  if side_short <= 2.*sin_a*cos_a*side_long or abs(sin_a-cos_a) < 1e-10:
    # half constrained case: two crop corners touch the longer side,
    #   the other two corners are on the mid-line parallel to the longer line
    x = 0.5*side_short
    wr,hr = (x/sin_a,x/cos_a) if width_is_longer else (x/cos_a,x/sin_a)
  else:
    # fully constrained case: crop touches all 4 sides
    cos_2a = cos_a*cos_a - sin_a*sin_a
    wr,hr = (w*cos_a - h*sin_a)/cos_2a, (h*cos_a - w*sin_a)/cos_2a

  return wr,hr

Here is a comparison of the function with the other solution:

>>> wl,hl = largest_rotated_rect(1500,500,math.radians(20))
>>> print (wl,hl),', area=',wl*hl
(828.2888697391496, 230.61639227890998) , area= 191016.990904
>>> wm,hm = rotatedRectWithMaxArea(1500,500,math.radians(20))
>>> print (wm,hm),', area=',wm*hm
(730.9511000407718, 266.044443118978) , area= 194465.478358

With angle a in [0,pi/2[ the bounding box of the rotated image (width w, height h) has these dimensions:

• width w_bb = w*cos(a) + h*sin(a)
• height h_bb = w*sin(a) + h*cos(a)

If w_r, h_r are the computed optimal width and height of the cropped image, then the insets from the bounding box are:

• in horizontal direction: (w_bb-w_r)/2
• in vertical direction: (h_bb-h_r)/2

Proof:

Looking for the axis aligned rectangle between two parallel lines that has maximal area is an optimization problem with one parameter, e.g. x as in this figure:

Let s denote the distance between the two parallel lines (it will turn out to be the shorter side of the rotated rectangle). Then the sides a, b of the sought-after rectangle have a constant ratio with x, s-x, resp., namely x = a sin α and (s-x) = b cos α:

So maximizing the area a*b means maximizing x*(s-x). Because of "theorem of height" for right-angled triangles we know x*(s-x) = p*q = h*h. Hence the maximal area is reached at x = s-x = s/2, i.e. the two corners E, G between the parallel lines are on the mid-line:

This solution is only valid if this maximal rectangle fits into the rotated rectangle. Therefore the diagonal EG must not be longer than the other side l of the rotated rectangle. Since

EG = AF + DH = s/2*(cot α + tan α) = s/(2*sin αcos α) = s/sin 2α

we have the condition s ≤ lsin 2α, where s and l are the shorter and longer side of the rotated rectangle.

In case of s > lsin 2α the parameter x must be smaller (than s/2) and s.t. all corners of the sought-after rectangle are each on a side of the rotated rectangle. This leads to the equation

x*cot α + (s-x)*tan α = l

giving x = sin α(lcos α - ssin α)/cos 2α. From a = x/sin α and b = (s-x)/cos α we get the above used formulas.

There is an easy way to take care of this issue which uses another module called PIL (helpful only if you okay with not using opencv)

The code below does exactly the same and roates any image in such a way that you won't get the black pixels

from PIL import Image

def array_to_img(x, scale=True):
    x = x.transpose(1, 2, 0) 
    if scale:
        x += max(-np.min(x), 0)
        x /= np.max(x)
        x *= 255
    if x.shape[2] == 3:
        return Image.fromarray(x.astype("uint8"), "RGB")
    else:
        return Image.fromarray(x[:,:,0].astype("uint8"), "L")



def img_to_array(img):
    x = np.asarray(img, dtype='float32')
    if len(x.shape)==3:
        # RGB: height, width, channel -> channel, height, width
        x = x.transpose(2, 0, 1)
    else:
        # grayscale: height, width -> channel, height, width
        x = x.reshape((1, x.shape[0], x.shape[1]))
    return x



if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Calls a function to convert image to array
    image_array = img_to_array(image_name)
    # Calls the function to rotate the image by given angle
    rotated_image =  array_to_img(random_rotation(image_array, rotation_angle))

    # give the location where you want to store the image
    rotated_image_name=<location_of_the_image_>+'roarted_image.png'
    # Saves the image in the mentioned location
    rotated_image.save(rotated_image_name)
