Great video, I'm on the hunt for good, concise, videos on this topic to share with some work colleagues. This knowledge is not taught in most software courses so is a bit of a black box abyss for most software engineers. I keep running into "two wrongs make a right" scenarios that appear out of nowhere when one colospace bug is fixed. Thank you for making this content. If there's not another video from you that I've not seen yet, I hope you cover gamma transfer functions as well, PQ, slog, sRGB, etc. Because that's arguably even more confusing than the colorspaces, especially when sRGB color primaries (Rec.709) and sRGB gamma transform are often used interchangeably online.

The human retina has two types of light sensing cells, rod and cones. The rods are only sensitive to a narrow range of wavelengths in the green region but significantly are nearly 3000x more sensitive to light intensity than the cones which sense red, green and blue, respectively. The rods cover the entire retina, but the cones are mostly concentrated around the optic nerve. The greater sensitivity of the rods and their location explain why at light we can see movement at the periphery of our vision better than in the center and why when our eyes fixate on objects we get “tunnel vision” which is the brain’s way of mentally tuning out the much stronger signal from the rods. The rod / cone physiology explains why the CIE*xyz graph used to represent color space is much larger in the green region and why staring at bright green colors becomes fatiguing. Red lighting is used at night on control panels because the rods don’t detect it making it easier for them to detect any objects in other areas viewed.
@EdiWalger
@EdiWalger Жыл бұрын
rods are sensitive of a broad range of wavelengths. The peak is near to cyan, and excludes reds, but the range is broad. Sensitivity or rods are not derived from a single cell, since a lot of rods are combined in a single ganglion. That means a collection of small sensitivities added together, since the small size of every rod and the huge population of them. Cones are concentrated in the fovea (not around the eccentricity of the optic nerve) and rods do not cover the fovea at all. Because of that you cannot see a star at night with the center of your vision. Movement definition of rods are related with the speed of the visual cycle of them, not from sensibility.

Correction: RGB is a non-perceptual color model, not a colorspace. HSL is a perceptual color model that takes into account human vision. Rec. 709 is a colorspace that defines primaries in locus points to derive relative coordinates to CIE 1935. You can convert to other colorspaces using relative or absolute colormetric intent with prioritizing white balance against saturation. (so even the transform conversion itself can be perceptual). Additionally the camera's RGB sensor array only exists in the world of a standard exposure (usually 18% grey) so it's data is not truly 3D in nature since camera's sensors give non-linear response to light. In essence, every camera has a custom color model. This is why it's hard to match cameras that have varying scene referred color over an exposure range. And adds to the reason why lookup tables do not work as well as anticipated.
@EdiWalger
@EdiWalger Жыл бұрын
HSL is "perceptual"? No, is just a projection model from an RGB model by using a very simple transform. Not a colorspace, just a different color "model". Camera sensor are possible because the photoelectric effect, which is "linear" in transduction by nature, that means all sensors are linear in response, but each can use a different encoding at the time of saving data only. Cameras has a custom "colorspace", not color model.
@robertulrich3964
@robertulrich3964 Жыл бұрын
@@EdiWalger The HSL representation models the way different paints mix together to create colour in the real world, with the lightness dimension resembling the varying amounts of black or white paint in the mixture (e.g. to create "light red", a red pigment can be mixed with white paint; this white paint corresponds to a high "lightness" value in the HSL representation). Different cameras can have the same colorspace but different spectral response in the sensor. The spectral response over overexposure is what causes irregularities in matching cameras and that mapping process is non-linear despite transduction.
@EdiWalger
@EdiWalger Жыл бұрын
@@robertulrich3964 the QE of every sensor can be different by wavelength, and the colorspace is the result of the camera calibration that you need to reproduce real colors. Every wavelength stills with a linear (proportional to radiometric intensity) response, but changes for every wavelength. L (lightness) is an abstraction that must be defined mathematically, and never match with any "perceptual" concept, specially in the HSL projection: you can define a color with hue/sat but no lightness, which is impossible to realize. Because of that HSL is "derivative" from RGB that defines the real color mixing, and not a colorspace made from abstract attributes. Just an indirect manipulation for the RGB model which results in a non-perceptual match: color cannot be fully represented by euclidean dimensions.

What your previous video does still contribute to this topic is the colormetric transformation needed between color spaces to ensure that what the camera saw is what you see on the monitor. Whether that transformation is absolute or relative is e.g. part of the answer to a question below on why someone still sees ‘all’ the colors of CIE diagram.

Glad to see some objective science being applied to color theory. Note there is a huge difference between light color theory and pigment color theory. To start 6 Primary 3 Light >>> Red Green Blue 3 Pigment >>> Magenta Yellow Cyan Pigment Derived Red=Magenta×3+Yellow Green=Yellow+Cyan Blue=Cyan×3+Magenta 6 Secondary Pigment 3 Common >>> Violet=Cyan+Magenta Rose=Magenta+Red Orange=Red+Yellow >>> 3 Obscure >>> Chartreuse=Yellow+Green Aquamarine=Green+Cyan Cerulean=Cyan+Blue Other Purple = Blue+Red >>> >>> >>> >>> Rant ROY G BIV is a mistake and there are several issues. 01 Cyan is mislabeled as baby blue and Magenta gets left out most of the time 02 Indigo is not necessary, it's not even a secondary color. It's a dark dark violet that is more on the blue side. 03 Purple would make more sense than Indego, and fyi purple is not true violet. Purple = Blue + Red, Violet = Cyan + Magenta 04 Blue and Violet should have been separated correctly but instead indigo gets used 05 In light, Violet exists in two different ways, it has its own distinguishable frequency and wavelength, but it can also be created by a mixture of blue and red wavelengths (the human eye will except both versions and they are not distinguishable to us). This duality makes it a bit confusing in some situations. Note there is a huge difference between light color theory and pigment color theory. 06 Purple is a type of violet. Slightly darker with more red. Purple = Blue + Red, Violet = Cyan + Magenta 07 Indigo is a dark dark violet, closer to the blue side. 08 Violet is a wider spectrum (than the other colors) because it can be a mixture of blue and red light at different ratios. 09 Magenta has a similar issue as violet but magenta actually does not exist as a single wavelength/frequency in light. Magenta is the 1 to 1 ratio (1:1) of red and blue Light. Magenta does not exist on the rainbow but we can clearly see it's place in color theory. 10 Indigo and Purple are not necessary when considering primary and secondary colors (6 primary 6 secondary [derived]), they just fall under violet. 11 M ROY G CBV M, I distinguish 8 unique colors that we seem ti care about most, the 6 primary plus orange plus violet. 12 Aquamarine (green-cyan) is on the same level as orange and violet but in our culture we don't value it as unique. 13 If you only consider the rainbow then you would not get Magenta and the 8 would become 7 which is what you see in the rainbow ROY G CBV.

11:53 The CIE1931 is not an "absolute colorspace", since Y means a percent of a "luminosity scene" estimated from a luminosity function (CIE1924). A real absolute colorspace uses cd/m2 for luminance, like ICtCp. But 1931 is an "absolute gamut", in terms of chromacity inside of an unknown dynamic range.
