Colour Models

The document discusses various color models used in digital graphics and printing, including RGB, YIQ, CMY, and HSV. It explains how these models represent colors in different ways, with RGB and CMY being hardware-oriented and HSV being more user-friendly. Each model has its own method of defining colors based on additive or subtractive processes, and the document highlights the importance of understanding these models for effective color representation.

Therefore, another class ‘of colour model has been. developed. These include HSV, HLS and HVC models. RGB Colour Model * The red. green and blue (RGB) colour model used in colour CRT monitors aad colour raster graphics employ a cartesian co-ordinate system © In this model, the individual contribution of red, green and blue are added together to get the resultant colour. * We can represent this colour model with the unit cube defined ; on R, G and B axes, as shown in Fig 28 7 axes and the remaining vertices represe: complementary colour colours The main diagonal of the cube, — with equal amounts of each Ce) primary represents the gray levels. The end at the origin of the diagonal represents black (0,0, 0) and other end represents white (1.1.1). Each colour point within the bounds of the cube is (RG, B), where value for R, G, B are assigned in the r As mentioned earlier, it is an additwe model Tepresented as the ange from Oto 1, y Intensities of the primary colours °* are added to get the resultant °8 colour.

This model was designed to separate chrominance from luminance. This was a requirement in the early days of color television when black-and-white sets still were expected to pick up and display what were originally color pictures The Y-channel contains luminance information (sufficient for black and-white television sets) while the f and Q channels (in-phase and in-quadrature) carried. the colour information. A colour television set would take these three channels, Y, Land Q and map the information back to R, G and B levels for display on a screen. fY] 0.299 O587 Olt fr T} = [0596 -0.275 -0.322))C ts) 0.212 =0523. 0312 }| B. © YIQ was formerly used in NISC (North America, Japan and elsewhere) television ‘broadcasts for historical reasons.
