Yuvmodel
Yuvmodel is a conceptual and practical framework for representing color information in digital imagery using the YUV family of color spaces. In this model, an image is described by a luminance component Y and two chrominance components U and V (or Cb and Cr in some variants). The luminance component encodes brightness and forms the basis for grayscale representations and perceptual coding, while the U and V components carry color information with typically lower spatial resolution in common video pipelines.
Transformations between RGB and YUV variants are central to the model. Most Yuvmodel implementations rely on
Applications of Yuvmodel include image and video compression, broadcasting, streaming, display pipelines, and color management systems.
Implementation considerations involve precision and rounding behavior, synchronization between color spaces, and converting results back to
