Study Notes

Intensity

Intensity is also known as luminosity, brightness, or luminance.
The range of intensity is vast, from very dark to very bright.
The ratio of maximum intensity to minimum intensity present in an image is called the dynamic range.

Color

CIE (Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage) has defined 3 standard primaries: X, Y, & Z.
CIE defined a chromaticity diagram as a plane in the space defined by X, Y, & Z primaries.
Specific display devices have a maximum range of colors they can reproduce, known as gamut.
The color model families are: RGB, CMY & CMYK, HSV & HSL, YUV & YIQ.

RGB Model

It is an additive color model.
Red + Blue = Magenta, Blue + Green = Cyan, Green + Red = Yellow, Red + Blue + Green = White
Used by light-emitting displays such as monitors and projectors
sRGB (standard RGB) is a color space created by HP & Microsoft
Adobe RGB was developed by Adobe and has a larger gamut than sRGB.

CMY Model

It is a subtractive color mode, based on pigment reflectance.
Cyan (C) absorbs red, Magenta (M) absorbs green, Yellow (Y) absorbs blue.
Used by color printers and reflective media systems.

CMYK Model

Black (K) ink is added to CMY to improve quality and reduce ink usage.
The K is determined by the minimum value of C, M, and Y.

HSV Model

It is a user-oriented model that defines color with: Hue, Saturation, and Value.
Value is similar to luminance.
HSL model is similar to HSV.
HSL model uses Lightness instead of Value, a range from grayscale to the chosen hue.

YUV Model

A human visual system based color model, which uses a luminance channel (Y) and two chrominance channels.
Used in PAL analog video and digital video.
Human eyes are more sensitive to luminance than chrominance.

YIQ Model

An NTSC (National Television System Committee) based model developed in North America.
It aligns with human color perception and sensitivity.
Y is the brightness, I is the orange-blue axis, and Q is the purple-green axis.
Humans are primarily sensitive to Y, then to I, then to Q.

Color Model Summary

Various color models have different purposes. Some are better suited for specific tasks, such as display devices or user-friendliness.
Other models are more efficient for data processing and storage.
RGB, YUV, and YIQ are closely related to the display hardware and human visual system.
HSV, HSB, and HSL are user-friendly color models with perceptual properties.
