YCgCo to ICTCP Converter - Color Space Converter

YCgCo color space introduction

Also known as the YCgCo color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.Cg,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Co,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YCgCo color space was designed for digital video processing to provide a simple and reversible color transformation method, serving as an approximation of the YCbCr color space.
Primary Names: YCgCo color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'Cg' stands for the green difference component, and 'Co' represents the red-blue difference component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YCgCo(0.5, -0.25, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chromatic differences.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in image coding and digital video processing, for example, it is applied in encoding standards such as JPEG XR and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
Additionally, due to the simple conversion process of YCgCo, it supports efficient hardware implementation and can be losslessly transformed back to the RGB format.

ICTCP color space introduction

Also known as the ICTCP color space.There are 3 channels in total,I,range from 0 to 1.CT,range from -0.5 to 0.5.CP,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
The ICtCp color representation model was developed for high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamut (WCG) media, representing I (Intensity), Ct (Chroma of red-green), and Cp (Chroma of blue-yellow).
ICtCp color space.
In the ICtCp color space, colors are represented through Intensity (I), Chroma of red-green (Ct), and Chroma of blue-yellow (Cp).
ICtCp is primarily used for HDR and WCG video formats, intended to replace the YCbCr color space, offering better color difference encoding and improved efficiency for these advanced video applications.
The ICtCp color space is particularly suitable for handling HDR and WCG video content, providing a color representation that aligns more closely with human visual perception.
