Image:Barn-yuv.png

[edit] Summary

The picture is of the John Moulton Barn at the base of the Teton Range.

[edit] Raison d'être

This is a cleaner/more acurate version of en:Image:YUV_components.jpg. The improvements are:

• Use a lossless compression algorithm, PNG removing jpeg artifacts
• Don't scale U, V to extreme values - use the raw value, which more closely approximates the chroma component
• Fix the inverted polarity of U, V components

[edit] Generation

To generate this map Brian Szymanski used this perl script, and then ran optipng with a full search to shrink the filesize. If you want to understand the below code, you should probably use perltidy - the code is mostly here for my reference.

perl -e 'use strict; use warnings; use GD; GD::Image->trueColor(1);
my %color_cache;
sub cached_allocate { my $img = shift; my @rgb = @_;
   my $rgb = join(",", @rgb);
   $color_cache{$rgb} = $img->colorAllocate(@rgb) unless($color_cache{$rgb});
   return $color_cache{$rgb};
}

my $img = GD::Image->new("barn.png");
my ($height, $width) = ($img->height, $img->width);
my $yuv_img = GD::Image->new($width, $height*4);
foreach my $y (0..$height-1) {
   foreach my $x (0..$width-1) {
      my ($r, $g, $b) = map { $_ / 256 } my @rgb = $img->rgb($img->getPixel($x, $y));
      my $Y = 0.299*$r+0.587*$g+0.114*$b;
      my $U = 0.436*($b-$Y)/(1-0.114);
      my $V = 0.615*($r-$Y)/(1-0.299);
      $Y *= 256;
      $U += .436; $U *= (256/.872);
      $V += .615; $V *= (256/1.23);
      ($Y, $U, $V) = map { int(0.5+$_) } ($Y, $U, $V);
      die "YUV: $Y,$U,$V" if (($Y > 255) or ($U > 255) or ($V > 255))
      $yuv_img->setPixel($x, $y, cached_allocate($yuv_img, @rgb));
      $yuv_img->setPixel($x, $height+$y, cached_allocate($yuv_img, $Y, $Y, $Y));
      $yuv_img->setPixel($x, 2*$height+$y, cached_allocate($yuv_img, 0, 255-$U, $U));
      $yuv_img->setPixel($x, 3*$height+$y, cached_allocate($yuv_img, $V, 255-$V, 0));
   }
};
print $yuv_img->png' >barn-yuv.png
