SciPy - Image Processing (scipy.ndimage)

Why does scipy.ndimage.rotate with reshape=True often produce an output image larger than the input?

ABecause it adds padding to the image edges by default

BBecause it doubles the image size internally

CBecause it expands the output to fit the entire rotated image without cropping

DBecause it converts the image to a higher resolution

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand reshape=True behavior
When reshape=True, the output shape is adjusted to fit the whole rotated image.
Step 2: Reason about output size
This often results in a larger image to avoid cropping corners after rotation.
Final Answer:
Because it expands the output to fit the entire rotated image without cropping -> Option C
Quick Check:
reshape=True expands output to fit rotated image [OK]

Quick Trick: reshape=True fits full rotated image, may enlarge output [OK]
