These equations define R'G'B' to Y'CbCr conversion and Y'CbCr to R'G'B' conversion, respectively:

$$\left[\begin{array}{c}{Y}^{\prime }\\ Cb\\ Cr\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}16\\ 128\\ 128\end{array}\right]+{\rm A}\times \left[\begin{array}{c}{R}^{\prime }\\ G^{\prime }\\ B^{\prime }\end{array}\right]$$

$$\left[\begin{array}{c}{R}^{\prime }\\ G^{\prime }\\ B^{\prime }\end{array}\right]={\rm B}\times \left(\left[\begin{array}{c}{Y}^{\prime }\\ Cb\\ Cr\end{array}\right]-\left[\begin{array}{c}16\\ 128\\ 128\end{array}\right]\right)$$

The values in matrices A and B are based on your choices for the Use conversion specified by and Scanning standard parameters.

Conversion from R'G'B' to Intensity

This equation defines conversion from the R'G'B' color space to an intensity image:

$$\text{intensity}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.299& 0.587& 0.114\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{R}^{\prime }\\ G^{\prime }\\ B^{\prime }\end{array}\right]$$

Conversion from B'G'R' to Intensity

This equation defines conversion from the B'G'R' color space to an intensity image:

$$\text{intensity}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.114& 0.587& 0.2999\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}B\text{'}\\ G^{\prime }\\ R\text{'}\end{array}\right]$$

Conversion Between R'G'B' and HSV Color Spaces

In the equations defining the R'G'B' to HSV conversion, MAX and MIN are the highest and lowest component values, respectively, of a given R'G'B' triplet. H, S, and V vary from 0 to 1.

$$\begin{array}{l}H=\{\begin{array}{c}\left(\frac{G^{\prime }-B^{\prime }}{MAX-MIN}\right)/6,\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{cc}& \text{if}\end{array}& R^{\prime }=MAX\end{array}& \end{array}\\ \left(2+\frac{B^{\prime }-R^{\prime }}{MAX-MIN}\right)/6,\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{cc}& \text{if}\end{array}& G^{\prime }=MAX\end{array}& \end{array}\\ \left(4+\frac{R^{\prime }-G^{\prime }}{MAX-MIN}\right)/6,\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{cc}& \text{if}\end{array}& B^{\prime }=MAX\end{array}& \end{array}\end{array}\\ S=\frac{MAX-MIN}{MAX}\\ V=MAX\end{array}$$

This equation defines the HSV to R'G'B' conversion, where M is the highest value among $$R_{\text{tmp}}$$, $$G_{\text{tmp}}$$ and $$B_{\text{tmp}}$$:

$$\begin{array}{l}{H}_i=\lfloor 6H\rfloor \\ f=6H-H_i\\ p=1-S\\ q=1-(f*S)\\ t=1-S(1-f)\\ \begin{array}{cc}\text{if}& H_{\text{i}}=0,\begin{array}{cccc}& R_{\text{tmp}}=1,& G_{\text{tmp}}=t,& B_{\text{tmp}}=p\end{array}\end{array}\\ \begin{array}{cc}\text{if}& H_{\text{i}}=1,\begin{array}{cccc}& R_{\text{tmp}}=q,& G_{\text{tmp}}=1,& B_{\text{tmp}}=p\end{array}\end{array}\\ \begin{array}{cc}\text{if}& H_{\text{i}}=2,\begin{array}{cccc}& R_{\text{tmp}}=p,& G_{\text{tmp}}=1,& B_{\text{tmp}}=t\end{array}\end{array}\\ \begin{array}{cc}\text{if}& H_{\text{i}}=3,\begin{array}{cccc}& R_{\text{tmp}}=p,& G_{\text{tmp}}=q,& B_{\text{tmp}}=1\end{array}\end{array}\\ \begin{array}{cc}\text{if}& H_{\text{i}}=4,\begin{array}{cccc}& R_{\text{tmp}}=t,& G_{\text{tmp}}=p,& B_{\text{tmp}}=1\end{array}\end{array}\\ \begin{array}{cc}\text{if}& H_{\text{i}}=5,\begin{array}{cccc}& R_{\text{tmp}}=1,& G_{\text{tmp}}=p,& B_{\text{tmp}}=q\end{array}\end{array}\\ u=V/M\\ R^{\prime }=u*R_{\text{tmp}}\\ G^{\prime }=u*G_{\text{tmp}}\\ B^{\prime }=u*B_{\text{tmp}}\end{array}$$

Conversion Between sR'G'B' and XYZ Color Spaces

The sR'G'B' to XYZ conversion is a two-step process. First, the block converts the gamma-corrected sR'G'B' values to linear sRGB values using these equations:

If $$R_{\text{sRGB}\text{}}^{\text{'}}$$, $$G_{\text{sRGB}}^{\text{'}}$$, and $$B_{\text{sRGB}}^{\text{'}}$$ are each less than or equal to 0.03928, then:

$$\begin{array}{l}{R}_{\text{sRGB}}={R^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}/12.92\\ G_{\text{sRGB}}={G^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}/12.92\\ B_{\text{sRGB}}={B^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}/12.92\end{array}$$

Otherwise:

$$\begin{array}{l}{R}_{\text{sRGB}}={\left[\raisebox{1ex}{$({R^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}+0.055)$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$1.055$}\right.\right]}^{2.4}\\ G_{\text{sRGB}}={\left[\raisebox{1ex}{$({G^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}+0.055)$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$1.055$}\right.\right]}^{2.4}\\ B_{\text{sRGB}}={\left[\raisebox{1ex}{$({B^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}+0.055)$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$1.055$}\right.\right]}^{2.4}\end{array}$$

Then, the block converts the sRGB values to XYZ values using this equation:

$$\left[\begin{array}{c}X\\ Y\\ Z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.41239079926596& 0.35758433938388& 0.18048078840183\\ 0.21263900587151& 0.71516867876776& 0.07219231536073\\ 0.01933081871559& 0.11919477979463& 0.95053215224966\end{array}\right]\times \left[\begin{array}{c}{R}_{sRGB}\\ G_{sRGB}\\ B_{sRGB}\end{array}\right]$$

The XYZ to sR'G'B' conversion is also a two-step process. First, the block converts the XYZ values to linear sRGB values using this equation:

$$\left[\begin{array}{c}{R}_{sRGB}\\ G_{sRGB}\\ B_{sRGB}\end{array}\right]={\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.41239079926596& 0.35758433938388& 0.18048078840183\\ 0.21263900587151& 0.71516867876776& 0.07219231536073\\ 0.01933081871559& 0.11919477979463& 0.95053215224966\end{array}\right]}^{-1}\times \left[\begin{array}{c}X\\ Y\\ Z\end{array}\right]$$

Then the block applies gamma correction, using these equations, to obtain the sR'G'B' values:

If $$R_{\text{sRGB}}$$, $$G_{\text{sRGB}}$$ and $$B_{\text{sRGB}}$$ are each less than or equal to 0.00304, then:

$$\begin{array}{l}{R^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}=12.92R_{\text{sRGB}}\\ {G^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}=12.92G_{\text{sRGB}}\\ {B^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}=12.92B_{\text{sRGB}}\end{array}$$

Otherwise:

$$\begin{array}{l}{R^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}=1.055R_{\text{sRGB}}{}^{(1.0/2.4)}-0.055\\ {G^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}=1.055G_{\text{sRGB}}{}^{(1.0/2.4)}-0.055\\ {B^{\prime }}_{\text{sRGB}}=1.055B_{\text{sRGB}}{}^{(1.0/2.4)}-0.055\end{array}$$

Note

Computer Vision Toolbox™ uses a D65 white point, which is specified in Recommendation ITU-R BT.709, for this conversion. In contrast, the Image Processing Toolbox™ conversion is based on ICC profiles, and it uses a D65 to D50 Bradford adaptation transformation to the D50 white point. If you are using these two products and comparing results, you must account for this difference.

Conversion Between sR'G'B' and L*a*b* Color Spaces

The Color Space Conversion block converts sR'G'B' values to L*a*b* values in two steps. First, it converts sR'G'B' to XYZ values using the equations described in Conversion Between sR'G'B' and XYZ Color Spaces. Then, it uses these equations to transform the XYZ values to L*a*b* values. Here, $$X_n$$, $$Y_n$$, and $$Z_n$$ are the tristimulus values of the reference white point you specify using the White point parameter:

If $$Y/Y_{\text{n}}$$ is greater than 0.008856, then:

$$L^{*}=116{(Y/Y_{\text{n}})}^{1/3}-16$$

Otherwise:

$$L^{*}=903.3Y/Y_{\text{n}}$$

$$\begin{array}{l}{a}^{*}=500(f(X/X_{\text{n}})-f(Y/Y_{\text{n}}))\\ b^{*}=200(f(Y/Y_{\text{n}})-f(Z/Z_{\text{n}})),\end{array}$$

If t is greater than 0.008856, then:

$$f(t)=t^{1/3}$$

Otherwise:

$$f(t)=7.787t+16/166$$

The block converts L*a*b* values to sR'G'B' values in two steps, as well. First, the block transforms the L*a*b* values to XYZ values using these equations:

If $$Y/Y_{\text{n}}$$ is greater than 0.008856, then:

$$\begin{array}{l}X=X_{\text{n}}(P+a^{*}/500{)}^3\\ Y=Y_{\text{n}}{P}^3\\ Z=Z_{\text{n}}(P-b^{*}/200{)}^3,\end{array}$$

where:

$$P=(L^{*}+16)/116$$

Otherwise:

$$\begin{array}{l}X=\raisebox{1ex}{$X_{\text{n}}\left(\left(P+\raisebox{1ex}{$a$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$500$}\right.\right)-0.138\right)$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$7.787$}\right.\\ Y=\raisebox{1ex}{$Y_{\text{n}}\left(P-0.138\right)$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$7.787$}\right.\\ Z=Z_{\text{n}}\left(\left(P-\raisebox{1ex}{$b$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$200$}\right.\right)-0.138\right)\left(7.787\right)\end{array}$$

Then it converts XYZ to sR'G'B' values using the equations described in Conversion Between sR'G'B' and XYZ Color Spaces.
