LEADTOOLS Color Conversion

Show in webframe

The .NET Color Conversion provides direct color conversion to an image. Generic YUV conversion provides the ability to convert any YUV format to any supported color space, using the ConversionYuvParameters class and adhering to the restrictions listed below. After defining the YUV format, you can proceed with the conversion normally, just like any other conversion. Use Convert method to perform the conversion and call Stop method to free the conversion resources used. Currently the conversion from any color space to Generic YUV is not supported.

Generic YUV conversion currently has the following restrictions:

  1. No sub-sampling of Y is supported.
  2. The number of Y elements must be a multiple of both U, and V.
  3. With non-planar formats, vertical sub-sampling of Y, U, and V is not supported.
  4. No alignment supported in planar format; line width must not contain additional bytes.
  5. The horizontal sub-sampling periods of U, and V must be multiples of each other, and the vertical sub-sampling periods of U, and V must be multiples of each other.
