YCbCr(YCC) to LUV(cieluv,cie1976) Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

Also known as the LUV(cieluv,cie1976) color space.There are 3 channels in total,lightness,range from 0 to 100.u,range from -134 to 224.v,range from -140 to 122.

Developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976 as a uniform color space that would more accurately reflect human visual perception.

Commonly known as CIELUV, the space is also referred to as L*u*v* or LUV.

Color in the CIELUV space is expressed with three coordinates: L* for lightness, u* for the green-red chromaticity component, and v* for the blue-yellow chromaticity component.

CIELUV is used in various industries where accurate color reproduction is needed, such as color printing, in the manufacturing of textiles and plastics, and in color television broadcasting.

The CIELUV color space is especially useful for applications that require taking into account the conditions under which colors are viewed, including the effects of different types of lighting on color appearance.
