Your concernes about a .m implementation of imrotate are wise. However,
my implementation does not have any loops. It applies the rotation by
decomposing the rotaion matrix into 3 shears, and then applies the
shears using Fourier interpolation. As a result, it uses the 1D fft
function heavily. But since the bulk of those operations are implemented
efficiently, the speed is OK. I haven't had the chance to run any
benchmarks yet, but I will soon.
The function uses another function I could submit, called "imshear.m".
Guess what it does! That's right... applies a shear using Fourier
interpolation.
Certainly, a C implementation of these functions would be at LEAST
slightly faster, but I must admit that I'm hesitant because I've never
written a .oct routine, and I'm not familiar enough with the API to do
it in a timely manner. Not to mention, I hope I wouldn't have to
re-implement the fft, etc., myself. Since the vast majority of the data
manipulation is offloaded to other routines, it might not be worth it.
Since it seems that there are no imrotates lurking around, I guess I
wouldn't be re-inventing the wheel. I'll spend some time tying up some
loose ends, and you can check out the "alpha release" once I'm done, if
you wish.
