Translation and Rotation of Images in Six Degree of Freedom Using OpenCV

I would like to share a small C++ function to translate and rotate images in 3D space in six degree of freedom (6 DoF). It also adjusts brightness and contrast. I use OpenCV library to perform some image processing.

• OpenCV Setup on Linux
• C++ Example for 6 DoF Image Rotation

OpenCV Setup on Linux

Since the program uses OpenCV, if it is not already setup on your machine, you can run the following command on a Debian based Linux machine to install it.

$ sudo apt update && apt install libopencv-dev

C++ Example for 6 DoF Image Rotation

The program can be found at the following link.

https://github.com/yan9a/cecv/blob/master/imrotate6dof/imRotate6DoF.cpp

The image used in the program is available at:

The output of the program is shown below.
