Generic YUV conversion (Delphi 4.0)

Note: At the beginning of the Unit1 file, add LTDLLUNT, LTDLLTYP, and LTDLLDEF to the uses section.

Generic YUV conversion provides the ability to convert any YUV format to any supported color space, using the YUV_PARAMS structure 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 L_ClrConvert to perform the conversion and call L_ClrFree to free the conversion handle. 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.

Examples

  1. Converting Y41P to RGB using Generic YUV Conversion:

    procedure GenericY41PToRGB({in}pIn: Pointer; {out}pOut: Pointer; {in}nWidth: Integer; {in}nHeight: Integer); 
    var 
    hClrHandle : THandle (* Color Handle *); 
    cpParams : CONVERSION_PARAMS (* Conversion options *); 
    yuvParams : YUV_PARAMS (* Declare YUV Params structure *); 
    pOff: array[0..11] of Integer (* Byte ordering of the YUV format *); 
    begin 
    (* 
    * Byte ordering of the format; for Y41P:

    * Put the Y component order first then the U and V last as follows: 
    * Y positions: 1,3,5,7,8,9,10,11 
    * U positions: 0,4 
    * V positions: 2,6 
    *)
