Flipping an Image in Python

Suppose we have a binary matrix A, this is the representation of an image, we want to flip the image horizontally, after that invert it, and finally return the resulting image. To flip the image horizontally each row of the image will be reversed. And to invert the image each 0 will be replaced by 1, and each 1 will be replaced by 0.

So, if the input is like

then the output will be

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• result:= a new list
• for each row i in A, do
  • Reverse:= reverse row i
  • for j in range 0 to size of Reverse, do
    • if Reverse[j] is same as 1, then
      • Reverse[j]:= 0
    • otherwise,
      • Reverse[j]:= 1
  • insert Reverse at the end of result
• return result

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

Example

 Live Demo

class Solution:
   def flipAndInvertImage(self, A):
      result=[]
      for i in A:
         Reverse=i[::-1]
         for j in range(len(Reverse)):
            if Reverse[j]==1:
               Reverse[j]=0
            else:
               Reverse[j]=1
               result.append(Reverse)
      return result
ob = Solution()
print(ob.flipAndInvertImage([[1,1,0],[1,0,1],[0,0,0]]))

Input

[[1,1,0],[1,0,1],[0,0,0]]

Output

[[1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [1, 1, 1]]
