LCHab(cielch,LCH,HLC,LSH) to YCbCr(YCC) Converter - Color Space Converter

LCHab(cielch,LCH,HLC,LSH) color space introduction

Also known as the LCHab(cielch,LCH,HLC,LSH) 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.
Derived from the CIELAB color space, it represents colors in a cylindrical coordinate system.
Commonly known as CIELCH or LCH, also referred to as LCH_ab.
Colors in the LCH color space are expressed using lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and hue angle (H°), providing a more intuitive way of specifying colors compared to the Cartesian coordinates used in CIELAB.
The LCH color space is extensively used in industries and applications where accurate color differentiation is crucial, such as graphic design, printing, and paint manufacturing.
The LCH color space can be more convenient for understanding color relationships and specifying colors in a more perceptual manner.

YCbCr(YCC) color space introduction

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.
