LCHab(cielch,LCH,HLC,LSH) to YUV(EBU) 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.

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.
