Abstract

A signal rotation processing method for transforming an original image expressed on two-dimensional orthogonal coordinates into an image rotated by an arbitrary angle of .theta. radians. In order to raise the transforming speed, the method includes a skew coordinate transformation step of multiplying the original coordinates of the image elements by a matrix of ##EQU1## and an enlarging/reducing transformation step of conducting multiplication by a matrix of ##EQU2## .
