RGB to YUV Color Space Conversion

This program source code implements the conversion from RGB to YUV color space. The conversion process transforms the RGB color model into luminance (Y) and chrominance (UV) components. Through specific mathematical formulas, RGB pixel values are converted to corresponding YUV values. The implementation typically uses the following standard conversion equations: Y = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B U = -0.147R - 0.289G + 0.436B V = 0.615R - 0.515G - 0.100B This color space conversion is crucial in image processing and video encoding applications because the YUV format provides better separation of brightness and color information compared to RGB. The luminance component (Y) contains the grayscale information, while the chrominance components (U and V) carry the color data. This separation allows for more efficient compression and processing, as human vision is more sensitive to brightness changes than color variations. The program's implementation is particularly valuable for applications involving image enhancement, video compression standards, and color space transformations in digital media processing. The code typically handles pixel-by-pixel conversion and may include optimization techniques for processing large images or video frames efficiently.
