YUV(EBU) to DIN99 Lab(DLAB) Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

DIN99 Lab(DLAB) color space introduction

Also known as the DIN99 Lab(DLAB) color space.There are 3 channels in total,L,range from 0 to 100.a,range from -40.09 to 45.501.b,range from -40.469 to 44.344.
DIN99 Lab, often referred to as DLab, is a color space derived from the CIE L*a*b* color space. It was developed based on the DIN99 colorimetric system, which is an adaptation of the L*a*b* model to improve perceptual uniformity.
DIN99 Lab color space.
In the DIN99 Lab color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L*99), green-red chromatic component (a*99), and blue-yellow chromatic component (b*99).
DLab is primarily used in fields where more precise perceptual uniformity is required, such as color science and quality control.
The DLab color space is particularly useful in color evaluation and matching due to its perceptual uniformity in representing colors.
