YUV(EBU) to LCHuv(cielchuv) 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.

LCHuv(cielchuv) color space introduction

Also known as the LCHuv(cielchuv) color space.There are 3 channels in total,lightness,range from 0 to 100.chroma,range from 0 to 100.hue,range from 0 to 360.
Based on the CIELUV color space, proposed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976, it uses a cylindrical coordinate system instead of a rectangular one.
Commonly known as CIELCH_uv or LCH(uv), abbreviated as LCHuv.
The LCHuv color space expresses colors using lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and hue angle (h°), providing an intuitive way to describe colors.
The LCHuv color space is used in graphic and product design, especially suitable for color comparison and selection, and scenarios that require intuitive manipulation of colors.
The LCHuv color space is user-friendly for color selection based on hue and saturation, suitable for applications where the impact of lighting changes on color appearance needs to be considered.
