How does rotation in OpenCV work? I have a ROI in the image that I would like to rotate for a certain angle, and I move it to the top left corner of the image as a center of rotation. Then I move ROI back to the old position to see its new position. But the result I get is ROI under some strange angle. Can someone explain me how the rotation works?

Are you familiar with these functions:

  1. getRotationMatrix2D
  2. getAffineTransform
  3. Find more about geometric transformations

And this tutorial: Affine Transformations?

I hope this stuff will help you.

I am familiar with them, but the problem is that I have an object on the image (my ROI) that I want to rotate. If I rotate the image using the above mentioned functions, the object on the rotated image is rotated as well for some strange angle, and not the desired one. This happens because because I'm rotating the image, but how can I achieve to rotate the object for a specific angle? I guess not by rotating the entire image?
