OSA-UCS to UCS(cie1960) Converter - Color Space Converter

OSA-UCS color space introduction

Also known as the OSA-UCS color space.There are 3 channels in total, L,range from -10 to 8.j,range from -6 to 12.g,range from -10 to 6.
The OSA-UCS color space was developed by the Optical Society of America in the 1970s with the goal of creating a color space that provided a more uniform appearance than the CIE 1931 XYZ color space.
The OSA-UCS color space, also known as the Optical Society of America Uniform Color Scale.
Colors in the OSA-UCS color space are represented by three parameters: lightness (L), hue (J), and chroma (g).
OSA-UCS is used in the field of visual sciences for the research and precise measurement of color differences due to its uniformity.
The application of the OSA-UCS color space is relatively limited in the commercial sector, primarily because it is more complex to calculate and not as widely used as the CIELAB color space.

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.
