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 linear VIPS_INTERPRETATION_scRGB space with RGB ratios 0.2126, 0.7152, 0.0722 as defined by CIE 1931 linear luminance.
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, and 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.

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.
The input profile is searched for in three places:
If
embedded
is set, libvips will try to use any profile in the input image metadata. You can test for the presence of an embedded profile withvips_image_get_typeof()
with VIPS_META_ICC_NAME as an argument. This will returnGType
0 if there is no profile.Otherwise, if
input_profile
is set, libvips will try to load a profile from the named file. This can aslso be the name of one of the built-in profiles.Otherwise, libvips will try to pick a compatible profile from the set of built-in profiles.
If black_point_compensation

enabled.
