Colorspaces - [intro] + 'Color' is a very complex concept and depends on physics, chemistry and +biology. Just because you have three numbers that describe the 'red', 'green' +and 'blue' components of the color of a pixel does not mean that you can accurately +display that color. A colorspace defines what it actually means +to have an RGB value of e.g. (255, 0, 0). That is, which color should be +reproduced on the screen in a perfectly calibrated environment. - + In order to do that we first need to have a good definition of +color, i.e. some way to uniquely and unambiguously define a color so that someone +else can reproduce it. Human color vision is trichromatic since the human eye has +color receptors that are sensitive to three different wavelengths of light. Hence +the need to use three numbers to describe color. Be glad you are not a mantis shrimp +as those are sensitive to 12 different wavelengths, so instead of RGB we would be +using the ABCDEFGHIJKL colorspace... - - - - Gamma Correction - - [to do] - E'R = f(R) - E'G = f(G) - E'B = f(B) - - - - Construction of luminance and color-difference -signals - - [to do] - E'Y = -CoeffR E'R -+ CoeffG E'G -+ CoeffB E'B - (E'R - E'Y) = E'R -- CoeffR E'R -- CoeffG E'G -- CoeffB E'B - (E'B - E'Y) = E'B -- CoeffR E'R -- CoeffG E'G -- CoeffB E'B - - - - Re-normalized color-difference signals - - The color-difference signals are scaled back to unity -range [-0.5;+0.5]: - KB = 0.5 / (1 - CoeffB) - KR = 0.5 / (1 - CoeffR) - PB = -KB (E'B - E'Y) = - 0.5 (CoeffR / CoeffB) E'R -+ 0.5 (CoeffG / CoeffB) E'G -+ 0.5 E'B - PR = -KR (E'R - E'Y) = - 0.5 E'R -+ 0.5 (CoeffG / CoeffR) E'G -+ 0.5 (CoeffB / CoeffR) E'B - - - - Quantization - - [to do] - Y' = (Lum.

This is based on the Spectral +Power Distribution (SPD) which is a graph showing the intensity (radiant power) +of the light at wavelengths covering the visible spectrum as it enters the eye. +The science of colorimetry is about the relationship between the SPD and color as +perceived by the human brain. + + Since the human eye has only three color receptors it is perfectly +possible that different SPDs will result in the same stimulation of those receptors +and are perceived as the same color, even though the SPD of the light is +different. + + In the 1920s experiments were devised to determine the relationship +between SPDs and the perceived color and that resulted in the CIE 1931 standard +that defines spectral weighting functions that model the perception of color. +Specifically that standard defines functions that can take an SPD and calculate +the stimulus for each color receptor. After some further mathematical transforms +these stimuli are known as the CIE XYZ tristimulus values +and these X, Y and Z values describe a color as perceived by a human unambiguously. +These X, Y and Z values are all in the range [0…1]. + + The Y value in the CIE XYZ colorspace corresponds to luminance. Often +the CIE XYZ colorspace is transformed to the normalized CIE xyY colorspace: + + x = X / (X + Y + Z) + y = Y / (X + Y + Z) + + The x and y values are the chromaticity coordinates and can be used to +define a color without the luminance component Y. It is very confusing to +have such similar names for these colorspaces. Just be aware that if colors +are specified with lower case 'x' and 'y', then the CIE xyY colorspace is +used. Upper case 'X' and 'Y' refer to the CIE XYZ colorspace. Also, y has nothing +to do with luminance. Together x and y specify a color, and Y the luminance. +That is really all you need to remember from a practical point of view. At +the end of this section you will find reading resources that go into much more +detail if you are interested. + + + A monitor or TV will reproduce colors by emitting light at three +different wavelengths, the combination of which will stimulate the color receptors +in the eye and thus cause the perception of color. Historically these wavelengths +were defined by the red, green and blue phosphors used in the displays. These +color primaries are part of what defines a colorspace. + + Different display devices will have different primaries and some +primaries are more suitable for some display technologies than others. This has +resulted in a variety of colorspaces that are used for different display +technologies or uses. To define a colorspace you need to define the three +color primaries (these are typically defined as x, y chromaticity coordinates +from the CIE xyY colorspace) but also the white reference: that is the color obtained +when all three primaries are at maximum power. This determines the relative power +or energy of the primaries. This is usually chosen to be close to daylight which has +been defined as the CIE D65 Illuminant. + + To recapitulate: the CIE XYZ colorspace uniquely identifies colors. +Other colorspaces are defined by three chromaticity coordinates defined in the +CIE xyY colorspace. Based on those a 3x3 matrix can be constructed that +transforms CIE XYZ colors to colors in the new colorspace. + + + Both the CIE XYZ and the RGB colorspace that are derived from the +specific chromaticity primaries are linear colorspaces. But neither the eye, +nor display technology is linear. Doubling the values of all components in +the linear colorspace will not be perceived as twice the intensity of the color. +So each colorspace also defines a transfer function that takes a linear color +component value and transforms it to the non-linear component value, which is a +closer match to the non-linear performance of both the eye and displays. Linear +component values are denoted RGB, non-linear are denoted as R'G'B'. In general +colors used in graphics are all R'G'B', except in openGL which uses linear RGB. +Special care should be taken when dealing with openGL to provide linear RGB colors +or to use the built-in openGL support to apply the inverse transfer function. + + The final piece that defines a colorspace is a function that +transforms non-linear R'G'B' to non-linear Y'CbCr. This function is determined +by the so-called luma coefficients. There may be multiple possible Y'CbCr +encodings allowed for the same colorspace. Many encodings of color +prefer to use luma (Y') and chroma (CbCr) instead of R'G'B'. Since the human +eye is more sensitive to differences in luminance than in color this encoding +allows one to reduce the amount of color information compared to the luma +data. Note that the luma (Y') is unrelated to the Y in the CIE XYZ colorspace. +Also note that Y'CbCr is often called YCbCr or YUV even though these are +strictly speaking wrong. + + Sometimes people confuse Y'CbCr as being a colorspace. This is not +correct, it is just an encoding of an R'G'B' color into luma and chroma +values. The underlying colorspace that is associated with the R'G'B' color +is also associated with the Y'CbCr color. + + The final step is how the RGB, R'G'B' or Y'CbCr values are +quantized. The CIE XYZ colorspace where X, Y and Z are in the range +[0…1] describes all colors that humans can perceive, but the transform to +another colorspace will produce colors that are outside the [0…1] range. +Once clamped to the [0…1] range those colors can no longer be reproduced +in that colorspace. This clamping is what reduces the extent or gamut of the +colorspace. How the range of [0…1] is translated to integer values in the +range of [0…255] (or higher, depending on the color depth) is called the +quantization. This is not part of the colorspace +definition. In practice RGB or R'G'B' values are full range, i.e. they +use the full [0…255] range. Y'CbCr values on the other hand are limited +range with Y' using [16…235] and Cb and Cr using [16…240]. + + Unfortunately, in some cases limited range RGB is also used +where the components use the range [16…235]. And full range Y'CbCr also exists +using the [0…255] range. + + In order to correctly interpret a color you need to know the +quantization range, whether it is R'G'B' or Y'CbCr, the used Y'CbCr encoding +and the colorspace. +From that information you can calculate the corresponding CIE XYZ color +and map that again to whatever colorspace your display device uses. + + The colorspace definition itself consists of the three +chromaticity primaries, the white reference chromaticity, a transfer +function and the luma coefficients needed to transform R'G'B' to Y'CbCr. While +some colorspace standards correctly define all four, quite often the colorspace +standard only defines some, and you have to rely on other standards for +the missing pieces. The fact that colorspaces are often a mix of different +standards also led to very confusing naming conventions where the name of +a standard was used to name a colorspace when in fact that standard was +part of various other colorspaces as well. + + If you want to read more about colors and colorspaces, then the +following resources are useful: is a good practical +book for video engineers, has a much broader scope and +describes many more aspects of color (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.). +The http://www.brucelindbloom.com +website is an excellent resource, especially with respect to the mathematics behind +colorspace conversions. The wikipedia CIE 1931 colorspace article +is also very useful. + + +
+ Defining Colorspaces in V4L2 + In V4L2 colorspaces are defined by three values. The first is the colorspace +identifier (&v4l2-colorspace;) which defines the chromaticities, the transfer +function, the default Y'CbCr encoding and the default quantization method. The second +is the Y'CbCr encoding identifier (&v4l2-ycbcr-encoding;) to specify non-standard +Y'CbCr encodings and the third is the quantization identifier (&v4l2-quantization;) +to specify non-standard quantization methods. Most of the time only the colorspace +field of &v4l2-pix-format; or &v4l2-pix-format-mplane; needs to be filled in. Note +that the default R'G'B' quantization is always full range for all colorspaces, +so this won't be mentioned explicitly for each colorspace description. + +

+ Colorspace SMPTE 170M (<constant>V4L2_COLORSPACE_SMPTE170M</constant>) + The standard defines the colorspace used by NTSC and PAL and by SDTV +in general. The default Y'CbCr encoding is V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601. +The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and +the white reference are: + + SMPTE 170M Chromaticities + + &cs-str; + + + Color + x + y + + + + + Red + 0.630 + 0.340 + + + Green + 0.310 + 0.595 + + + Blue + 0.155 + 0.070 + + + White Reference (D65) + 0.3127 + 0.3290 + + + +
+ The red, green and blue chromaticities are also often referred to +as the SMPTE C set, so this colorspace is sometimes called SMPTE C as well. + + + The transfer function defined for SMPTE 170M is the same as the +one defined in Rec. 709. Normally L is in the range [0…1], but for the extended +gamut xvYCC encoding values outside that range are allowed. + + L' = -1.099(-L)0.45 + 0.099 for L ≤ -0.018 + L' = 4.5L for -0.018 < L < 0.018 + L' = 1.099L0.45 - 0.099 for L ≥ 0.018 + + + + + + Inverse Transfer function: + + L = -((L' - 0.099) / -1.099)1/0.45 for L' ≤ -0.081 + L = L' / 4.5 for -0.081 < L' < 0.081 + L = ((L' + 0.099) / 1.099)1/0.45 for L' ≥ 0.081 + + + + + + The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with +the following V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601 encoding: + + Y' = 0.299R' + 0.587G' + 0.114B' + Cb = -0.169R' - 0.331G' + 0.5B' + Cr = 0.5R' - 0.419G' - 0.081B' + + + + Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are +clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. This conversion to Y'CbCr is identical to the one +defined in the standard and this colorspace is sometimes called BT.601 as well, even +though BT.601 does not mention any color primaries. + The default quantization is limited range, but full range is possible although +rarely seen. + The V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601 encoding as described above is the +default for this colorspace, but it can be overridden with V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_709, +in which case the Rec. 709 Y'CbCr encoding is used. + + + The xvYCC 601 encoding (V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV601, ) is similar +to the BT.601 encoding, but it allows for R', G' and B' values that are outside the range +[0…1].
