(57) An image rotation method and an image rotation processing apparatus in an image processing apparatus are disclosed. The image rotation method obtains the coordinates (x',y') of a second memory (6) where the rotated image will be recorded, by sequentially scanning a first memory (5) where the M× N original image is recorded and adding the increments of x and y corresponding to a rotation angle ϑ repeatedly, and transmits the image element data of the coordinates (x,y) of the first memory (5) to the coordinates (x',y') of the second memory (6) with one-to-one correspondence, thereby obtaining the rotated image through the rotation angle ϑ from the original image. Thus, the present invention can obtain the rotated image using only addition operations and without any multiplication operations, so that high-speed operation is possible and an image can be rotated through a specified angle ϑ through software in common computer graphic systems having no floating point multiplier.
