YUV(EBU) to HSI Converter - Color Space Converter

YUV(EBU) color space introduction

Also known as the YUV(EBU) color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.U,range from -0.5 to 0.5.V,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YUV color space was designed for analog video signal transmission, separating luminance information (Y) from chrominance information (U and V) to improve the efficiency of color transmission and ensure compatibility with black and white television.
Primary Names: YUV color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, and 'U' and 'V' represent the chrominance components, describing the difference in color from a reference white.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YUV(0.5, -0.33, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chrominance.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in analog video transmission and compression. In modern applications, YUV is common in digital video encoding and broadcasting, video editing software, and image processing.
Additionally, the YUV format is very effective in color processing to reduce bandwidth requirements because it allows the resolution of chrominance components to be reduced during transmission rather than luminance components, taking advantage of the human eye's greater sensitivity to luminance over chrominance changes.

HSI color space introduction

Also known as the HSI color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.intensity,range from 0 to 255.
Origin: The HSI color space was designed to better match the color perception characteristics of the human eye, suitable for processing color-related information.
Primary Names: HSI, which includes H (Hue), S (Saturation), and I (Intensity) as the three color channels.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: hsi(120°, 0.5, 0.75) represents a green hue with medium saturation and high brightness.
Usage Scope: Extensively used in image processing and analysis, such as color segmentation, edge detection, target tracking, etc.
Additionally, HSI can be converted to and from RGB, and while similar to HSV and HSL, in HSI, I (Intensity) represents the overall brightness of the color.
