YCgCo to XYB Converter - Color Space Converter

YCgCo color space introduction

Also known as the YCgCo color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.Cg,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Co,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YCgCo color space was designed for digital video processing to provide a simple and reversible color transformation method, serving as an approximation of the YCbCr color space.
Primary Names: YCgCo color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'Cg' stands for the green difference component, and 'Co' represents the red-blue difference component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YCgCo(0.5, -0.25, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chromatic differences.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in image coding and digital video processing, for example, it is applied in encoding standards such as JPEG XR and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
Additionally, due to the simple conversion process of YCgCo, it supports efficient hardware implementation and can be losslessly transformed back to the RGB format.

XYB color space introduction

Also known as the XYB color space.There are 3 channels in total,X,range from -0.0154 to 0.0281.Y,range from 0 to 0.8453.B,range from -0.2778 to 0.388.
The XYB color space was developed by Google as part of their JPEG XL image format. It's designed to be more efficient for compression and more aligned with human vision than traditional color spaces like RGB.
XYB color space.
In the XYB color space, colors are represented through X, Y, and B channels, with the Y channel representing luminance and X and B channels representing color information.
XYB is primarily used in the JPEG XL image format, suitable for enhancing image compression ratios and quality.
The XYB color space offers higher compression rates while maintaining image quality, making it very effective for web image transmission and storage.
