YUV Formats
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
YUV is the format native to TV broadcast and composite video signals. It
|
|
separates the brightness information (Y) from the color information (U
|
|
and V or Cb and Cr). The color information consists of red and blue
|
|
*color difference* signals, this way the green component can be
|
|
reconstructed by subtracting from the brightness component. See
|
|
:ref:`colorspaces` for conversion examples. YUV was chosen because
|
|
early television would only transmit brightness information. To add
|
|
color in a way compatible with existing receivers a new signal carrier
|
|
was added to transmit the color difference signals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subsampling
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
YUV formats commonly encode images with a lower resolution for the chroma
|
|
components than for the luma component. This compression technique, taking
|
|
advantage of the human eye being more sensitive to luminance than color
|
|
differences, is called chroma subsampling.
|
|
|
|
While many combinations of subsampling factors in the horizontal and vertical
|
|
direction are possible, common factors are 1 (no subsampling), 2 and 4, with
|
|
horizontal subsampling always larger than or equal to vertical subsampling.
|
|
Common combinations are named as follows.
|
|
|
|
- `4:4:4`: No subsampling
|
|
- `4:2:2`: Horizontal subsampling by 2, no vertical subsampling
|
|
- `4:2:0`: Horizontal subsampling by 2, vertical subsampling by 2
|
|
- `4:1:1`: Horizontal subsampling by 4, no vertical subsampling
|
|
- `4:1:0`: Horizontal subsampling by 4, vertical subsampling by 4
|
|
|
|
Subsampling the chroma component effectively creates chroma values that can be
|
|
located in different spatial locations:
|
|
|
|
- .. _yuv-chroma-centered:
|
|
|
|
The subsampled chroma value may be calculated by simply averaging the chroma
|
|
value of two consecutive pixels. It effectively models the chroma of a pixel
|
|
sited between the two original pixels. This is referred to as centered or
|
|
interstitially sited chroma.
|
|
|
|
- .. _yuv-chroma-cosited:
|
|
|
|
The other option is to subsample chroma values in a way that place them in
|
|
the same spatial sites as the pixels. This may be performed by skipping every
|
|
other chroma sample (creating aliasing artifacts), or with filters using an
|
|
odd number of taps. This is referred to as co-sited chroma.
|
|
|
|
The following examples show different combination of chroma siting in a 4x4
|
|
image.
