Rotation correction does not work as expected

[MrinalJain17]

Are there plans to fix this issue:

https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-textract-response-parser/blob/cd24097feb4349d35822ff039dd0f40a6ad8b48c/src-python/trp/trp2.py#L595

I've noticed that the corrections applied align well when the document/image is rotated at right angles (90, 180, ...). But otherwise, the transformed geometries don't line up.

It is not scheduled yet, but gladly accept PRs that handle the rotation better.

I can give it a shot, but will need some help.

As far as I understand, this is the issue:

• The current geometry rotation (bounding box and polygons) applies the rotation along some center.
• The document (image) when rotated generally is allowed to "expand". This rotated document image is now a plane that is misaligned with that of the geometry (bounding boxes, polygons).
• This only occurs when the rotation is performed at non-right angles.

I have been looking into ways to tackle this, but haven't found much literature. Maybe something like PyTorch is doing - https://github.com/pytorch/vision/blob/781f512b01bc2324d7fdd11f0901f60571fc476f/torchvision/transforms/v2/functional/_geometry.py#L883

@schadem Do you happen to know if there exists some blog or something that can explain the potential solution in a better way?
