Sample Source Code

This article is accompanied by a sample source code Visual Studio project which is available for download here.

Using the Sample Application

The sample source code accompanying this article includes a Windows Forms based sample application. When using the sample application users are able to load source/input images from and save result images to the local file system. The user interface provides a combobox which contains the supported methods of Compass Edge Detection. Selecting an item from the combobox results in the related Compass Edge Detection method being applied to the current source/input image. Supported methods are:

Compass Edge Detection Overview

Compass Edge Detection as a concept title can be explained through the implementation of compass directions. Compass Edge Detection can be implemented through image convolution, using multiple matrix kernels, each suited to detecting edges in a specific direction. Often the edge directions implemented are:

North
North East
East
South East
South
South West
West
North West

Each of the compass directions listed above differ by 45 degrees. Applying a kernel rotation of 45 degrees to an existing direction specific edge detection kernel results in a new kernel suited to detecting edges in the next compass direction.

Various edge detection kernels can be implemented in Compass Edge Detection. This article and accompanying sample source code implements the following kernel types:

Prewitt
Sobel
Kirsch
Scharr
Isotropic

The steps required when implementing Compass Edge Detection can be described as follows:

Determine the compass kernels. When an edge detection kernel suited to a specific direction is known, the edge detection kernels suited to the 7 remaining compass directions can be calculated. Rotating a kernel by 45 degrees around a central axis equates to the kernel suited to the next compass direction. As an example, if the edge detection kernel suited to detect edges in a northerly direction were to be rotated clockwise by 45 degrees around a central axis the result would be an edge detection kernel suited to edges in a North Easterly direction.
Iterate source image pixels. Every pixel forming part of the source/input image should be iterated, implementing convolution using each of the compass kernels.
Determine the most responsive kernel convolution. After having applied each compass kernel to the pixel currently being iterated, the most responsive compass kernel determines the output value. In other words, after having applied convolution eight times on the same pixel using each compass direction the output value should be set to the highest value calculated.
Validate and set output result. Ensure that the highest value returned from convolution does not equate to less than 0 or more than 255. Should a value be less than zero the result should be assigned as zero. In a similar fashion, should a value exceed 255 the result should be assigned as 255.

Rotating Convolution Kernels

Kernels can be rotated by implementing a rotate transform. Repeatedly rotating by 45 degrees results in calculating 8 kernels, each suited to a different direction. The algorithm implemented when performing a rotate transform can be expressed as follows:

Implementing Kernel Rotation

The sample source code defines the RotateMatrix method. This method accepts as parameter a single kernel, defined as a two dimensional array of type double. In addition the method also expects as a parameter the degree to which the specified kernel should be rotated. The definition as follows:

public static double[, ,] RotateMatrix(double[,] baseKernel,  
                                             double degrees) 
{
    double[, ,] kernel = new double[(int )(360 / degrees),  
        baseKernel.GetLength(0), baseKernel.GetLength(1)]; 

 
    int xOffset = baseKernel.GetLength(1) / 2; 
    int yOffset = baseKernel.GetLength(0) / 2; 

 
    for (int y = 0; y < baseKernel.GetLength(0); y++) 
    { 
        for (int x = 0; x < baseKernel.GetLength(1); x++) 
        { 
            for (int compass = 0; compass <  
                kernel.GetLength(0); compass++) 
            { 
                double radians = compass * degrees * 
                                 Math.PI / 180.0; 

 
                int resultX = (int)(Math.Round((x - xOffset) * 
                           Math.Cos(radians) - (y - yOffset) * 
                           Math.Sin(radians)) + xOffset); 

 
                int resultY = (int )(Math.Round((x - xOffset) * 
                            Math.Sin(radians) + (y - yOffset) * 
                            Math.Cos(radians)) + yOffset); 

 
                kernel[compass, resultY, resultX] = 
                                            baseKernel[y, x]; 
            } 
        } 
    }

 
    return kernel; 
}

The CompassEdgeDetectionFilter method is defined as an extension method targeting the Bitmap class. The purpose of this method is to act as a wrapper method encapsulating the technical implementation. The definition as follows:

Article Purpose

This article provides a discussion exploring the concept of image rotation as a geometric transformation. In addition to conventional image rotation this article illustrates the concept of individual colour channel rotation.

Daisy: Rotate Red 0^o, Green 10^o, Blue 20^o

Sample Source Code

This article is accompanied by a sample source code Visual Studio project which is available for download here.

Using the Sample Application

A Sample Application has been included in the sample source code that accompanies this article. The sample application serves as an implementation of the concepts discussed throughout this article. Concepts can be easily tested and replicated using the sample application.

Daisy: Rotate Red 15^o, Green 5^o, Blue 10^o

When using the sample application users are able to load source/input images from the local file system by clicking the Load Image button. Required user input via the user interface can be found in the form of three numeric up/down controls labelled Blue, Green and Red respectively. Each control represents the degree to which the related colour component should be rotated. Possible input values range from –360 to 360. Positive values result in clockwise rotation, whereas negative values result in counter clockwise rotation. The sample application enables users to save result images to the local file system by clicking the Save Image button.

The following image is a screenshot of the Image Transform Rotate sample application in action:

Image Rotation Transformation

A rotational transformation applied to an image from a theoretical point of view is based in Transformation Geometry. From Wikipedia we learn the following definition:

In mathematics, transformation geometry (or transformational geometry) is the name of a mathematical and pedagogic approach to the study of geometry by focusing on groups of geometric transformations, and the properties of figures that are invariant under them. It is opposed to the classical synthetic geometry approach of Euclidean geometry, that focus on geometric constructions.

Rose: Rotate Red –20^o, Green 0^o, Blue 20^o

In this article image rotation is implemented through applying a set rotation transform algorithm to the coordinates of each pixel forming part of a source/input image. In the corresponding result image the calculated rotated pixel coordinates in terms of colour channel values will be assigned to the colour channel values of the original pixel.

The algorithms implemented when calculating a pixel’s rotated coordinates can be expressed as follows:

Symbols/variables contained in the algorithms:

R (x) : The result of rotating a pixel’s x-coordinate.
R (y) : The result of rotating a pixel’s y-coordinate.
x : The source pixel’s x-coordinate.
y : The source pixel’s y-coordinate.
W : The width in pixels of the source image.
H : The height in pixels of the source image.
ɑ : The lower case Greek alphabet letter alpha. The value represented by alpha reflects the degree of rotation.

Butterfly: Rotate Red 10^o, Green 0^o, Blue 0^o

In order to apply a rotation transformation each pixel forming part of the source/input image should be iterated. The algorithms expressed above should be applied to each pixel.

The pixel coordinates located at exactly the middle of an image can be calculated through dividing the image width with a factor of two in regards to the X-coordinate. The Y-coordinate can be calculated through dividing the image height also with a factor of two. The algorithms calculate the coordinates of the image middle pixel and implements the coordinates as offsets. Implementing the pixel offsets results in images being rotated around the image’s middle, as opposed to the the top left pixel (0,0).

This article and the associated sample source code extends the concept of traditional rotation through implementing rotation on a per colour channel basis. Through user input the individual degree of rotation can be specified for each colour channel, namely Red, Green and Blue. Functionality has been implemented allowing each colour channel to be rotated to a different degree. In essence the algorithms described above have to be implemented three times per pixel iterated.

Daisy: Rotate Red 30^o, Green 0^o, Blue 180^o

Implementing a Rotation Transformation

The sample source code implements a rotation transformation through the definition of two extension methods: RotateXY and RotateImage.

The RotateXY extension method targets the Point structure. This method serves as an encapsulation of the logic behind calculating rotating coordinates at a specified angle. The practical C# code implementation of the algorithms discussed in the previous section can be found within this method. The definition as follows:

public static Point RotateXY(this Point source, double degrees,
                                       int offsetX, int offsetY)
{ 
   Point result = new Point();
 
   result.X = (int)(Math.Round((source.X - offsetX) *
              Math.Cos(degrees) - (source.Y - offsetY) *
              Math.Sin(degrees))) + offsetX;

   
   result.Y = (int)(Math.Round((source.X - offsetX) *
              Math.Sin(degrees) + (source.Y - offsetY) *
              Math.Cos(degrees))) + offsetY;

    
   return result;
}

Rose: Rotate Red –60^o, Green 0^o, Blue 60^o

The RotateImage extension method targets the Bitmap class. This method expects three rotation degree/angle values, each corresponding to a colour channel. Positive degrees result in clockwise rotation and negative values result in counter clockwise rotation. The definition as follows:

public static Bitmap RotateImage(this Bitmap sourceBitmap,  
                                       double degreesBlue, 
                                      double degreesGreen,
