HSV(HSB) to YCbCr(YCC) Converter - Color Space Converter

HSV(HSB) color space introduction

Also known as the HSV(HSB) color space.There are 3 channels in total, hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.value,range from 0 to 100.
Origin: The HSV color space was invented in the 1970s with the goal of combining an intuitive understanding of color with the needs of digital color processing.
Main Names: HSV or HSB (where B stands for Brightness), which includes three color channels H (Hue), S (Saturation), and V (Value/Brightness).
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: hsv(120, 100%, 100%) represents a pure green color with maximum saturation and brightness.
Usage: Used in color detection and segmentation in image analysis and processing, color selection and adjustment in graphic design software, and in color pickers in user interface design.
Additionally, HSV can be algorithmically converted to and from RGB. The HSV model is highly intuitive for color adjustments, allowing users to independently alter the perceptual attributes of color. HSV is similar to HSL, but HSV's Value (V) takes into account the effects of hue and saturation, while HSL's Lightness (L) represents the midpoint between pure black and pure white.

YCbCr(YCC) color space introduction

Also known as the YCbCr(YCC) color space.There are 3 channels in total,Y,range from 16 to 235.Cb,range from 16 to 240.Cr,range from 16 to 240.
The YCbCr color space was specifically designed for digital television and video compression standards like MPEG and JPEG, aiming to minimize data size while maintaining high-quality imagery during the compression process.
The primary name is YCbCr. It is often confused with YUV, although they are technically different.
The YCbCr color space is typically used in a digital format, expressed as a combination of three component values, like (Y, Cb, Cr). For 8-bit video signals, these components typically range from 16 to 235 for Y, and 16 to 240 for Cb and Cr.
YCbCr is predominantly used in digital video capture, processing, storage, and transmission. It forms the core color space for television broadcasting, DVD videos, and image compression standards such as JPEG.
In the YCbCr color space, Y represents the luminance component, while Cb and Cr represent the chrominance components of blue and red, separated from the Y component, allowing chroma subsampling to reduce data amount. As the human eye is more sensitive to luminance than to chrominance, this separation usually doesn't affect the viewing experience.
