Detailed Documentation

This MATLAB program enables robust color space conversion across multiple color models including RGB, YCbCr, HSV, HSL, and CIE-based spaces. The implementation supports full bidirectional conversion between RGB, YPbPr, YCbCr, YUV, YIQ, YDbDr, JPEG-YCbCr, HSV, HSL, XYZ, CIE Lab (CIELAB), CIE Luv (CIELUV), and CIE Lch (CIELCH) color spaces. The conversion algorithms employ matrix transformations for linear color spaces (e.g., RGB to YUV) and nonlinear equations for perceptual spaces (e.g., RGB to HSV), ensuring accurate color representation during processing. Key functions include channel normalization, gamma correction where applicable, and proper clamping to maintain valid color ranges. This tool enhances image processing workflows by providing rapid, mathematically precise conversions suitable for various applications including computer vision, digital video processing, and color analysis. For advanced implementation details and theoretical foundations, users may consult relevant technical literature on color science and digital image processing.
