UCS(cie1960) color space introduction

Also known as the UCS(cie1960) color space.There are 3 channels in total, U,range from 0 to 100.V,range from 0 to 100.W,range from 0 to 100.
Developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1960, it was intended to provide a uniform color scale that would more closely align with human vision.
The primary name is CIE 1960 UCS (Uniform Color Scale). It is also referred to as the CIE 1960 (u, v) chromaticity space.
Colors in the CIE 1960 UCS are expressed in terms of chromaticity coordinates 'u' and 'v' derived from the CIE XYZ color space, with the addition of a 'W' coordinate representing the luminance factor.
The CIE 1960 UCS is used for applications where a more perceptually linear color space is useful. It's often used in color research and for specifying the colors of light sources and illuminants.
The CIE 1960 UCS is an intermediate step towards the development of subsequent color spaces that are more perceptually uniform, such as CIELUV and CIELAB.

YcCbcCrc color space introduction

Also known as the YcCbcCrc color space.There are 3 channels in total,Yc,range from 0 to 1.Cbc,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Crc,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
The YcCbcCrc color space is based on the traditional YCbCr color space, optimized for chrominance components of High Definition Television (HDTV) signals to accommodate video signals of different resolutions during transmission and processing.
YcCbcCrc uses a component representation method similar to YCbCr, usually including a luminance component Yc and two chrominance components Cbc and Crc. The difference lies in the scaling factors for Cbc and Crc, which are adjusted according to different HDTV standards. In 8-bit video signals, the range of values for Yc, Cbc, and Crc may vary depending on the standard.
This color space is primarily used in professional video production and editing, excelling in video compression and broadcast transmission, especially when dealing with high-definition video signals.
YcCbcCrc adapts to higher resolution video signals with different scaling and offset compared to standard YCbCr. This can improve the representation of chrominance signals, particularly during color conversion and color grading processes.
