Description

trans_to_rgbtrans_to_rgbTransToRgbTransToRgbtrans_to_rgb transforms an image from an arbitrary color space (ColorSpaceColorSpaceColorSpacecolorSpacecolor_space) to the RGB color space. The three channels of the image are passed as three separate images on input and output.

The operator trans_to_rgbtrans_to_rgbTransToRgbTransToRgbtrans_to_rgb supports the image types byte, uint2, int4, and real. The domain of the input images must match the domain provided by a corresponding transformation with trans_from_rgbtrans_from_rgbTransFromRgbTransFromRgbtrans_from_rgb. If not, the results of the transformation may not be reasonable.

This includes some scalings in the case of certain image types and transformations:

• Considering byte and uint2 images, the domain of color space values is expected to be spread to the full domain of [0..255] or [0..65535], respectively. This includes a shift in the case of signed values, such that the origin of signed values (e.g., CIELab) may not be at the center of the domain.

• Hue values are represented by angles of [0..2[ and are coded for the particular image types differently:

  • byte-images map the angle domain on [0..255].

  • uint2/int4-images are coded in minutes of arc [0..21600[, except for the transformations 'cielchab'"cielchab""cielchab""cielchab""cielchab" and 'cielchuv'"cielchuv""cielchuv""cielchuv""cielchuv" for int4-images, where they are coded in seconds of arc [0..1296000[.

  • real-images are coded in radians [0..2[, except for the transformations 'cielchab'"cielchab""cielchab""cielchab""cielchab" and 'cielchuv'"cielchuv""cielchuv""cielchuv""cielchuv", where the standards ISO 11664-4:2008 and ISO 11664-5:2009 require the hue to be specified in degrees.

• Saturation values are represented by percentages of [0..100] and are coded for the particular image type differently:

  • byte-images map the saturation values to [0..255].

  • uint2/int4-images map the saturation values to [0..10000].

  • real-images map the saturation values to [0..1].

Supported are the transformations listed below. Note, all domains are based on RGB values scaled to [0; 1]. To obtain the domain of a certain image type, they must be scaled accordingly with the value range. Due to different precision the values obtained using the given equations may slightly differ from the values returned by the operator.

Attention

As the calculations are made with a different numerical precision, the OpenCL implementation of the cielab transformation for images of type int4 is slightly less accurate than the pure C version.
