YIQ to HSI Converter - Color Space Converter

YIQ color space introduction

Also known as the YIQ color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.I,range from -0.5957 to 0.5957.Q,range from -0.5226 to 0.5226.
Origin: The YIQ color space was specifically designed for the North American NTSC color television standard to accommodate compatibility between color and monochrome television broadcasts.
Primary Names: YIQ color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'I' represents the in-phase component, and 'Q' represents the quadrature component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YIQ(0.5, 0.2, 0.3) represents a color with specific luminance and chromaticity.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in the North American NTSC (National Television System Committee) color television broadcasting system. Although less used in modern digital technology, it played a significant role during the era of analog television.
Additionally, the YIQ color space allows old black and white television receivers to receive and correctly display the luminance signal from color broadcasts without interference from the color information.

HSI color space introduction

Also known as the HSI color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.intensity,range from 0 to 255.
Origin: The HSI color space was designed to better match the color perception characteristics of the human eye, suitable for processing color-related information.
Primary Names: HSI, which includes H (Hue), S (Saturation), and I (Intensity) as the three color channels.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: hsi(120°, 0.5, 0.75) represents a green hue with medium saturation and high brightness.
Usage Scope: Extensively used in image processing and analysis, such as color segmentation, edge detection, target tracking, etc.
Additionally, HSI can be converted to and from RGB, and while similar to HSV and HSL, in HSI, I (Intensity) represents the overall brightness of the color.
