This package converts colors between sRGB, Y'PbPr, Y'CbCr, JPEG-Y'CbCr, Y'UV, Y'IQ, Y'DbDr, HSV, HSL, HSI, CIE XYZ, CIE L*a*b* (CIELAB), CIE L*u*v* (CIELUV), and CIE L*ch (CIELCH), and CIE CAT02 LMS. It can be used either as part of a C/C++ program or compiled as a Matlab MEX function.

For use in C programs, an example command line program colorcalc is included.  For use in Matlab, colorspace is compiled as a MEX function by entering

mex colorspace.c

on the Matlab command console. As an alternative to MEX, a pure M-code version colorspace.m is also included.

To perform a color transformation, first call GetColorTransform, specifying the source and destination color spaces as "dest<-src" or "src->dest". Then call ApplyColorTransform to perform the transform:

num S[3] = {173, 0.8, 0.5};
num D[3];
colortransform Trans;
       
if(!(GetColorTransform(&Trans, "HSI -> Lab")))
{
    printf("Invalid syntax or unknown color space\n");
    return;
}   
       
ApplyColorTransform(Trans, &D[0], &D[1], &D[2], S[0], S[1], S[2]);

num” is a typedef defined at the beginning of colorspace.h that may be set to either double or float, depending on the application.

The supported spaces are
"RGB"sRGB IEC 61966-2-1
"YPbPr"Luma (ITU-R BT.601) + Chroma
"YCbCr"Luma + Chroma (digitized version of Y'PbPr)
"JPEG-YCbCr"Luma + Chroma space used in JFIF JPEG
"YUV"NTSC PAL Y'UV Luma + Chroma
"YIQ"NTSC Y'IQ Luma + Chroma
"YDbDr"SECAM Luma + Chroma
"HSV" or "HSB" 
Hue Saturation Value/Brightness
"HSL" or "HLS"Hue Saturation Luminance
"HSI"Hue Saturation Intensity
"XYZ"CIE XYZ
"Lab"CIE L*a*b* (CIELAB)
"Luv"CIE L*u*v* (CIELUV)
"LCH"CIE L*C*H* (CIELCH)
"CAT02 LMS"CIE CAT02 LMS
All transforms assume 2 degree observer and D65 illuminant. Color space names are case insensitive. When sRGB is the source or destination, it can be omitted. For example "yuv<-" is short for "yuv<-rgb".

Similarly in Matlab, B = colorspace(S,A) converts the color representation of image A where S is a string with the format S = 'dest<-src' or S = 'src->dest' specifying the transformation.
