Description

These operators let you transform coordinates and images between colour spaces, calculate colour differences, and move to and from device spaces.

All operations process colour from the first few bands and pass other bands through unaltered. This means you can operate on images with alpha channels safely. If you move to or from 16-bit RGB, any alpha channels are rescaled for you.

Radiance images have four 8-bits bands and store 8 bits of R, G and B and another 8 bits of exponent, common to all channels. They are widely used in the HDR imaging community.

The colour functions can be divided into three main groups. First, functions to transform images between the different colour spaces supported by VIPS: VIPS_INTERPRETATION_sRGB, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_scRGB, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_B_W, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_XYZ, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_YXY, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LAB, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LCH, and VIPS_INTERPRETATION_CMC.

There are also a set of minor colourspaces which are one of the above in a slightly different format: VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LAB, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LABQ, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LABS, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LCH, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_RGB16, and VIPS_INTERPRETATION_GREY16.

Use vips_colourspace() to move an image to a target colourspace using the best sequence of colour transform operations.

Secondly, there are a set of operations for calculating colour difference metrics. Finally, VIPS wraps LittleCMS and uses it to provide a set of operations for reading and writing images with ICC profiles.

This figure shows how the VIPS colour spaces interconvert:

The colour spaces supported by VIPS are:

  • VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LAB -- CIELAB '76 colourspace with a D65 white. This uses three floats for each band, and bands have the obvious range.

    There are two variants, VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LABQ and VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LABS, which use ints to store values. These are less precise, but can be quicker to store and process.

    VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LCH is the same, but with a*b* as polar coordinates. Hue is expressed in degrees.

  • VIPS_INTERPRETATION_XYZ -- CIE XYZ. This uses three floats. See VIPS_D75_X0 and friends for values for the ranges under various illuminants.

    VIPS_INTERPRETATION_YXY is the same, but with little x and y.

  • VIPS_INTERPRETATION_scRGB -- a linear colourspace with the sRGB primaries. This is useful if you need linear light and don't care much what the primaries are.

    Linearization is performed with the usual sRGB equations, see below.

  • VIPS_INTERPRETATION_sRGB -- the standard sRGB colourspace, see: wikipedia sRGB.

    This uses three 8-bit values for each of RGB.

    VIPS_INTERPRETATION_RGB16 is the same, but using three 16-bit values for RGB.

    VIPS_INTERPRETATION_HSV is sRGB, but in polar coordinates. VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LCH is much better, only use HSV if you have to.

  • VIPS_INTERPRETATION_B_W -- a monochrome image, roughly G from sRGB. The grey value is calculated in VIPS_INTERPRETATION_scRGB space with the usual 0.2, 0.7, 0.1 RGB ratios.

    VIPS_INTERPRETATION_GREY16 is the same, but using 16-bits.

  • VIPS_INTERPRETATION_CMC -- a colour space based on the CMC(1:1) colour difference measurement. This is a highly uniform colour space, much better than CIELAB for expressing small differences.

    The CMC colourspace is described in "Uniform Colour Space Based on the CMC(l:c) Colour-difference Formula", M R Luo and B Rigg, Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, vol 102, 1986. Distances in this colourspace approximate, within 10% or so, differences in the CMC(l:c) colour difference formula.

    You can calculate metrics like CMC(2:1) by scaling the spaces before finding differences.

Functions

vips_colourspace_issupported ()

gboolean

Test if image is in a colourspace that vips_colourspace() can process.

Parameters

input image

 

Returns

TRUE if image is in a supported colourspace.


vips_colourspace ()

int

                  ...);

Optional arguments:

  • source_space : input colour space

This operation looks at the interpretation field of in (or uses source_space , if set) and runs a set of colourspace conversion functions to move it to space .

For example, given an image tagged as VIPS_INTERPRETATION_YXY, running vips_colourspace() with space set to VIPS_INTERPRETATION_LAB will convert with vips_Yxy2XYZ() and vips_XYZ2Lab().

Profiles are loaded from four sources:

  • The special name "none" means no profile. profile will be NULL in this case.

  • name can be the name of one of the ICC profiles embedded in libvips. These names can be at least "cmyk" and "srgb".

  • name can be the full path to a file.

  • name can be the name of an ICC profile in the system profile directory for your platform.

Optional arguments:

  • input_profile : get the input profile from here

  • intent : transform with this intent

  • depth : depth of output image in bits

  • embedded : use profile embedded in input image

Transform an image with a pair of ICC profiles. The input image is moved to profile-connection space with the input profile and then to the output space with the output profile.

If embedded is set, the input profile is taken from the input image metadata, if present. If there is no embedded profile, input_profile is used as a fall-back. You can test for the presence of an embedded profile with vips_image_get_typeof() with VIPS_META_ICC_NAME as an argument. This will return GType 0 if there is no profile.

If embedded is not set, the input profile is taken from input_profile . If input_profile is not supplied, the metadata profile, if any, is used as a fall-back.

The output image has the output profile attached to the VIPS_META_ICC_NAME field.

Use vips_icc_import() and vips_icc_export() to do either the first or second half of this operation in isolation.

[method]

Parameters

in

input image

 

out

output image.

[out]

output_profile

vips_icc_import ()

int
vips_icc_import (VipsImage *in,
                 VipsImage **out,
                 ...);

Optional arguments:

  • input_profile : get the input profile from here

  • intent : transform with this intent

  • embedded : use profile embedded in input image

  • pcs : use XYZ or LAB PCS

Import an image from device space to D65 LAB with an ICC profile. If pcs is set to VIPS_PCS_XYZ, use CIE XYZ PCS instead.

If embedded is set, the input profile is taken from the input image metadata. If there is no embedded profile, input_profile_filename is used as a fall-back. You can test for the presence of an embedded profile with vips_image_get_typeof() with VIPS_META_ICC_NAME as an argument. This will return GType 0 if there is no profile.

If embedded is not set, the input profile is taken from input_profile . If input_profile is not supplied, the metadata profile, if any, is used as a fall-back.

[method]

Parameters

  • intent : transform with this intent

  • depth : depth of output image in bits

  • output_profile : get the output profile from here

  • pcs : use XYZ or LAB PCS

Export an image from D65 LAB to device space with an ICC profile. If pcs is set to VIPS_PCS_XYZ, use CIE XYZ PCS instead. If output_profile is not set, use the embedded profile, if any. If output_profile is set, export with that and attach it to the output image.
