Detailed Description

The functions in this section perform various geometrical transformations of 2D images. They do not change the image content but deform the pixel grid and map this deformed grid to the destination image. In fact, to avoid sampling artifacts, the mapping is done in the reverse order, from destination to the source. That is, for each pixel (x, y) of the destination image, the functions compute coordinates of the corresponding "donor" pixel in the source image and copy the pixel value:

\texttt{dst} (x,y)= \texttt{src} (f_x(x,y), f_y(x,y))

In case when you specify the forward mapping \left<g_x, g_y\right>: \texttt{src} \rightarrow \texttt{dst}, the OpenCV functions first compute the corresponding inverse mapping \left<f_x, f_y\right>: \texttt{dst} \rightarrow \texttt{src} and then use the above formula.

The actual implementations of the geometrical transformations, from the most generic remap and to the simplest and the fastest resize, need to solve two main problems with the above formula:

Note
The geometrical transformations do not work with CV_8S or CV_32S images.

§ convertMaps()

void cv::convertMaps ( InputArray  map1,
InputArray  map2,
OutputArray  dstmap1,
OutputArray  dstmap2,
int  dstmap1type,
bool  nninterpolation = false 
)
Python:
dstmap1, dstmap2=cv.convertMaps(map1, map2, dstmap1type[, dstmap1[, dstmap2[, nninterpolation]]])

Converts image transformation maps from one representation to another.

The function converts a pair of maps for remap from one representation to another. The following options ( (map1.type(), map2.type()) \rightarrow (dstmap1.type(), dstmap2.type()) ) are supported:

  • \texttt{(CV_32FC1, CV_32FC1)} \rightarrow \texttt{(CV_16SC2, CV_16UC1)}. This is the most frequently used conversion operation, in which the original floating-point maps (see remap ) are converted to a more compact and much faster fixed-point representation. The first output array contains the rounded coordinates and the second array (created only when nninterpolation=false ) contains indices in the interpolation tables.
  • \texttt{(CV_32FC2)} \rightarrow \texttt{(CV_16SC2, CV_16UC1)}. The same as above but the original maps are stored in one 2-channel matrix.
  • Reverse conversion. Obviously, the reconstructed floating-point maps will not be exactly the same as the originals.
Parameters
map1The first input map of type CV_16SC2, CV_32FC1, or CV_32FC2 .
map2The second input map of type CV_16UC1, CV_32FC1, or none (empty matrix), respectively.
dstmap1The first output map that has the type dstmap1type and the same size as src .
dstmap2The second output map.
dstmap1typeType of the first output map that should be CV_16SC2, CV_32FC1, or CV_32FC2 .
nninterpolationFlag indicating whether the fixed-point maps are used for the nearest-neighbor or for a more complex interpolation.

Calculates a perspective transform from four pairs of the corresponding points.

The function calculates the 3 \times 3 matrix of a perspective transform so that:

\begin{bmatrix} t_i x'_i \\ t_i y'_i \\ t_i \end{bmatrix} = \texttt{map_matrix} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} x_i \\ y_i \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}

§ getPerspectiveTransform() [2/2]

Mat cv::getPerspectiveTransform ( const Point2f  src[],
const Point2f  dst[],
int  solveMethod = DECOMP_LU 
)
Python:
retval=cv.getPerspectiveTransform(src, dst[, solveMethod])

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

§ getRectSubPix()

void cv::getRectSubPix ( InputArray  image,
Size  patchSize,
Point2f  center,
OutputArray  patch,
int  patchType = -1 
)
Python:
patch=cv.getRectSubPix(image, patchSize, center[, patch[, patchType]])

Retrieves a pixel rectangle from an image with sub-pixel accuracy.

The function getRectSubPix extracts pixels from src:

patch(x, y) = src(x + \texttt{center.x} - ( \texttt{dst.cols} -1)*0.5, y + \texttt{center.y} - ( \texttt{dst.rows} -1)*0.5)

where the values of the pixels at non-integer coordinates are retrieved using bilinear interpolation. Every channel of multi-channel images is processed independently. Also the image should be a single channel or three channel image. While the center of the rectangle must be inside the image, parts of the rectangle may be outside.

Parameters
imageSource image.
patchSizeSize of the extracted patch.
centerFloating point coordinates of the center of the extracted rectangle within the source image. The center must be inside the image.
patchExtracted patch that has the size patchSize and the same number of channels as src .
patchTypeDepth of the extracted pixels. By default, they have the same depth as src .

§ getRotationMatrix2D()

Mat cv::getRotationMatrix2D ( Point2f  center,
double  angle,
double  scale 
)
Python:
retval=cv.getRotationMatrix2D(center, angle, scale)

Calculates an affine matrix of 2D rotation.

The function calculates the following matrix:

\begin{bmatrix} \alpha & \beta & (1- \alpha ) \cdot \texttt{center.x} - \beta \cdot \texttt{center.y} \\ - \beta & \alpha & \beta \cdot \texttt{center.x} + (1- \alpha ) \cdot \texttt{center.y} \end{bmatrix}

where

\begin{array}{l} \alpha = \texttt{scale} \cdot \cos \texttt{angle} , \\ \beta = \texttt{scale} \cdot \sin \texttt{angle} \end{array}

The transformation maps the rotation center to itself. If this is not the target, adjust the shift.

Parameters
centerCenter of the rotation in the source image.
angleRotation angle in degrees. Positive values mean counter-clockwise rotation (the coordinate origin is assumed to be the top-left corner).
scaleIsotropic scale factor.

OutputArray  iM 
)
Python:
iM=cv.invertAffineTransform(M[, iM])

Inverts an affine transformation.

The function computes an inverse affine transformation represented by 2 \times 3 matrix M:

\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & b_1 \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & b_2 \end{bmatrix}

The result is also a 2 \times 3 matrix of the same type as M.

Parameters
MOriginal affine transformation.
iMOutput reverse affine transformation.

§ linearPolar()

void cv::linearPolar ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
Point2f  center,
double  maxRadius,
int  flags 
)
Python:
dst=cv.linearPolar(src, center, maxRadius, flags[, dst])

Remaps an image to polar coordinates space.

Deprecated:
This function produces same result as cv::warpPolar(src, dst, src.size(), center, maxRadius, flags)
Examples:
samples/cpp/polar_transforms.cpp.

§ logPolar()

void cv::logPolar ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
Point2f  center,
double  M,
int  flags 
)
Python:
dst=cv.logPolar(src, center, M, flags[, dst])

Remaps an image to semilog-polar coordinates space.

Deprecated:
This function produces same result as cv::warpPolar(src, dst, src.size(), center, maxRadius, flags+WARP_POLAR_LOG);
Examples:
samples/cpp/polar_transforms.cpp.

§ remap()

void cv::remap ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
InputArray  map1,
InputArray  map2,
int  interpolation,
int  borderMode = BORDER_CONSTANT,
const Scalar borderValue = Scalar() 
)
Python:
dst=cv.remap(src, map1, map2, interpolation[, dst[, borderMode[, borderValue]]])

Applies a generic geometrical transformation to an image.

The function remap transforms the source image using the specified map:

\texttt{dst} (x,y) = \texttt{src} (map_x(x,y),map_y(x,y))

where values of pixels with non-integer coordinates are computed using one of available interpolation methods. map_x and map_y can be encoded as separate floating-point maps in map_1 and map_2 respectively, or interleaved floating-point maps of (x,y) in map_1, or fixed-point maps created by using convertMaps. The reason you might want to convert from floating to fixed-point representations of a map is that they can yield much faster (2x) remapping operations. In the converted case, map_1 contains pairs (cvFloor(x), cvFloor(y)) and map_2 contains indices in a table of interpolation coefficients.

This function cannot operate in-place.

Parameters
srcSource image.
dstDestination image. It has the same size as map1 and the same type as src .
map1The first map of either (x,y) points or just x values having the type CV_16SC2 , CV_32FC1, or CV_32FC2. See convertMaps for details on converting a floating point representation to fixed-point for speed.
map2The second map of y values having the type CV_16UC1, CV_32FC1, or none (empty map if map1 is (x,y) points), respectively.
interpolationInterpolation method (see InterpolationFlags). The method INTER_AREA is not supported by this function.
borderModePixel extrapolation method (see BorderTypes). When borderMode=BORDER_TRANSPARENT, it means that the pixels in the destination image that corresponds to the "outliers" in the source image are not modified by the function.
borderValueValue used in case of a constant border. By default, it is 0.
Note
Due to current implementation limitations the size of an input and output images should be less than 32767x32767.

§ resize()

void cv::resize ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
Size  dsize,
double  fx = 0,
double  fy = 0,
int  interpolation = INTER_LINEAR 
)
Python:
dst=cv.resize(src, dsize[, dst[, fx[, fy[, interpolation]]]])

Resizes an image.

The function resize resizes the image src down to or up to the specified size. Note that the initial dst type or size are not taken into account. Instead, the size and type are derived from the src,dsize,fx, and fy. If you want to resize src so that it fits the pre-created dst, you may call the function as follows:

// explicitly specify dsize=dst.size(); fx and fy will be computed from that.
resize(src, dst, dst.size(), 0, 0, interpolation);

If you want to decimate the image by factor of 2 in each direction, you can call the function this way:

// specify fx and fy and let the function compute the destination image size.
resize(src, dst, Size(), 0.5, 0.5, interpolation);

To shrink an image, it will generally look best with INTER_AREA interpolation, whereas to enlarge an image, it will generally look best with c::INTER_CUBIC (slow) or INTER_LINEAR (faster but still looks OK).

Parameters
srcinput image.
dstoutput image; it has the size dsize (when it is non-zero) or the size computed from src.size(), fx, and fy; the type of dst is the same as of src.
dsizeoutput image size; if it equals zero, it is computed as:

\texttt{dsize = Size(round(fx*src.cols), round(fy*src.rows))}

Either dsize or both fx and fy must be non-zero.
fxscale factor along the horizontal axis; when it equals 0, it is computed as

\texttt{(double)dsize.width/src.cols}

fyscale factor along the vertical axis; when it equals 0, it is computed as

\texttt{(double)dsize.height/src.rows}

§ warpAffine()

void cv::warpAffine ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
InputArray  M,
Size  dsize,
int  flags = INTER_LINEAR,
int  borderMode = BORDER_CONSTANT,
const Scalar borderValue = Scalar() 
)
Python:
dst=cv.warpAffine(src, M, dsize[, dst[, flags[, borderMode[, borderValue]]]])

Applies an affine transformation to an image.

The function warpAffine transforms the source image using the specified matrix:

\texttt{dst} (x,y) = \texttt{src} ( \texttt{M} _{11} x + \texttt{M} _{12} y + \texttt{M} _{13}, \texttt{M} _{21} x + \texttt{M} _{22} y + \texttt{M} _{23})

when the flag WARP_INVERSE_MAP is set. Otherwise, the transformation is first inverted with invertAffineTransform and then put in the formula above instead of M. The function cannot operate in-place.

Parameters
srcinput image.
dstoutput image that has the size dsize and the same type as src .
M2\times 3 transformation matrix.
dsizesize of the output image.
flagscombination of interpolation methods (see InterpolationFlags) and the optional flag WARP_INVERSE_MAP that means that M is the inverse transformation ( \texttt{dst}\rightarrow\texttt{src} ).
borderModepixel extrapolation method (see BorderTypes); when borderMode=BORDER_TRANSPARENT, it means that the pixels in the destination image corresponding to the "outliers" in the source image are not modified by the function.
borderValuevalue used in case of a constant border; by default, it is 0.

§ warpPerspective()

void cv::warpPerspective ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
InputArray  M,
Size  dsize,
int  flags = INTER_LINEAR,
int  borderMode = BORDER_CONSTANT,
const Scalar borderValue = Scalar() 
)
Python:

Applies a perspective transformation to an image.

The function warpPerspective transforms the source image using the specified matrix:

\texttt{dst} (x,y) = \texttt{src} \left ( \frac{M_{11} x + M_{12} y + M_{13}}{M_{31} x + M_{32} y + M_{33}} , \frac{M_{21} x + M_{22} y + M_{23}}{M_{31} x + M_{32} y + M_{33}} \right )

when the flag WARP_INVERSE_MAP is set. Otherwise, the transformation is first inverted with invert and then put in the formula above instead of M. The function cannot operate in-place.

Parameters
srcinput image.
dstoutput image that has the size dsize and the same type as src .
M3\times 3 transformation matrix.
dsizesize of the output image.
flagscombination of interpolation methods (INTER_LINEAR or INTER_NEAREST) and the optional flag WARP_INVERSE_MAP, that sets M as the inverse transformation ( \texttt{dst}\rightarrow\texttt{src} ).

§ warpPolar()

void cv::warpPolar ( InputArray  src,
OutputArray  dst,
Size  dsize,
Point2f  center,
double  maxRadius,
int  flags 
)
Python:
dst=cv.warpPolar(src, dsize, center, maxRadius, flags[, dst])

Remaps an image to polar or semilog-polar coordinates space.

polar_remap_doc.png
Polar remaps reference

Transform the source image using the following transformation:

dst(\rho , \phi ) = src(x,y)

where

\begin{array}{l} \vec{I} = (x - center.x, \;y - center.y) \\ \phi = Kangle \cdot \texttt{angle} (\vec{I}) \\ \rho = \left\{\begin{matrix} Klin \cdot \texttt{magnitude} (\vec{I}) & default \\ Klog \cdot log_e(\texttt{magnitude} (\vec{I})) & if \; semilog \\ \end{matrix}\right. \end{array}

and

\begin{array}{l} Kangle = dsize.height / 2\Pi \\ Klin = dsize.width / maxRadius \\ Klog = dsize.width / log_e(maxRadius) \\ \end{array}

Linear vs semilog mapping

Polar mapping can be linear or semi-log. Add one of WarpPolarMode to flags to specify the polar mapping mode.

Linear is the default mode.

The semilog mapping emulates the human "foveal" vision that permit very high acuity on the line of sight (central vision) in contrast to peripheral vision where acuity is minor.

Option on dsize:
  • if both values in dsize <=0 (default), the destination image will have (almost) same area of source bounding circle:

    \begin{array}{l} dsize.area \leftarrow (maxRadius^2 \cdot \Pi) \\ dsize.width = \texttt{cvRound}(maxRadius) \\ dsize.height = \texttt{cvRound}(maxRadius \cdot \Pi) \\ \end{array}

  • if only dsize.height <= 0, the destination image area will be proportional to the bounding circle area but scaled by Kx * Kx:

    \begin{array}{l} dsize.height = \texttt{cvRound}(dsize.width \cdot \Pi) \\ \end{array}

  • if both values in dsize > 0, the destination image will have the given size therefore the area of the bounding circle will be scaled to dsize.
Reverse mapping

You can get reverse mapping adding WARP_INVERSE_MAP to flags

// direct transform
warpPolar(src, lin_polar_img, Size(),center, maxRadius, flags); // linear Polar
warpPolar(src, log_polar_img, Size(),center, maxRadius, flags + WARP_POLAR_LOG); // semilog Polar
// inverse transform
warpPolar(lin_polar_img, recovered_lin_polar_img, src.size(), center, maxRadius, flags + WARP_INVERSE_MAP);
warpPolar(log_polar_img, recovered_log_polar, src.size(), center, maxRadius, flags + WARP_POLAR_LOG + WARP_INVERSE_MAP);

In addiction, to calculate the original coordinate from a polar mapped coordinate (rho, phi)->(x, y):

double angleRad, magnitude;
double Kangle = dst.rows / CV_2PI;
angleRad = phi / Kangle;
if (flags & WARP_POLAR_LOG)
{
double Klog = dst.cols / std::log(maxRadius);
magnitude = std::exp(rho / Klog);
}
else
{
double Klin = dst.cols / maxRadius;
magnitude = rho / Klin;
}
int x = cvRound(center.x + magnitude * cos(angleRad));
int y = cvRound(center.y + magnitude * sin(angleRad));
Parameters
srcSource image.
dstDestination image. It will have same type as src.
dsizeThe destination image size (see description for valid options).
centerThe transformation center.
maxRadiusThe radius of the bounding circle to transform. It determines the inverse magnitude scale parameter too.
flagsA combination of interpolation methods, InterpolationFlags + WarpPolarMode.
Note
  • The function can not operate in-place.
  • To calculate magnitude and angle in degrees cartToPolar is used internally thus angles are measured from 0 to 360 with accuracy about 0.3 degrees.
  • This function uses remap. Due to current implementation limitations the size of an input and output images should be less than 32767x32767.
