Abstract
An image rotation system (,) allows for rotating an image between a first image position and a second image position. The image rotation system (,) includes an orientation module (,), a partition module (portions of,), a rotation module (,), and a concatenation module (portions of,). The orientation module (,) is disposed to receive the image to identify the initial image orientation. The partition module is disposed to receive the oriented image to partition the image into at least one sub-image. The rotation module (,) is disposed to receive each sub-image of the partitioned image to rotate the pixels of each sub-image. The concatenation module is disposed to receive each rotated sub-image to concatenate the rotated sub-images to produce the image in the final image position. A method for rotating images in a limited memory environment is also disclosed.
