lms to UCS(cie1960) Converter - Color Space Converter

lms color space introduction

Also known as the lms color space.There are 3 channels in total, long,range from 0 to 100.medium,range from 0 to 100.short,range from 0 to 100.
The LMS color space is based on the response of the human eye's cone cells to color, consisting of the responses from three different types of cone cells which are most responsive to long, medium, and short wavelengths of light respectively.
LMS stands for Long, Medium, and Short wavelengths.
The LMS color space typically uses three coordinates to express colors, corresponding directly to the responses of the cone cells. This space is often used to calculate transformations to other color spaces that are perceptually closer to human vision, such as from RGB.
The LMS color space is primarily used in the fields of biology and vision science, particularly for simulating and understanding human visual perception.
Since LMS is based on physiological characteristics, it is not commonly used for practical applications such as image processing or color printing but serves as a research and theoretical model.

UCS(cie1960) color space introduction

Also known as the UCS(cie1960) color space.There are 3 channels in total,U,range from 0 to 100.V,range from 0 to 100.W,range from 0 to 100.
Developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1960, it was intended to provide a uniform color scale that would more closely align with human vision.
The primary name is CIE 1960 UCS (Uniform Color Scale). It is also referred to as the CIE 1960 (u, v) chromaticity space.
Colors in the CIE 1960 UCS are expressed in terms of chromaticity coordinates 'u' and 'v' derived from the CIE XYZ color space, with the addition of a 'W' coordinate representing the luminance factor.
The CIE 1960 UCS is used for applications where a more perceptually linear color space is useful. It's often used in color research and for specifying the colors of light sources and illuminants.
The CIE 1960 UCS is an intermediate step towards the development of subsequent color spaces that are more perceptually uniform, such as CIELUV and CIELAB.
