LOGLUV-ENCODING

Convert between xyY (where each channel is a floating poing value) and the LogLuv 32bit pixel format.

LogLuv is a pixel format consisting of a 1 bit sign, 15 bits of log2 encoded luminance, and two 8 bit chromanance channels (u* and v* from CIE L*u*v*.) This encoding was first used in the TIFF file format for the storage of high dynamic range image data in a compact form.

The name LogLuv is something of a misnomer since the L doesn't refer to the L* in CIEL*u*v* but rather is the scene-referred illuminance (the Y in CIE XYZ) that is logarithmically encoded. For clarity, the name should probably be LogYuv though I am sure Greg Ward had good reasons for chosing to name it as he did.

Install

npm install logluv-encoding

..then require logluv-encoding:

var logLuvEncoding = require('logluv-encoding');

Basic Usage

var logLuvEncoding = require('logluv-encoding');

var xyYColor = [0.3, 0.5, 10.9];

var logLuvColor = logLuvEncoding.fromFloats(xyYColor);

logLuvColor; //=> [ 58, 219, 67, 114 ]

logLuvEncoding.toFloats(logLuvColor); //=> [ 0.299.., 0.499.., 10.907.. ]

//- Notice that the decoded values are very close but NOT exactly the original values
//- This is a natural limitation of trying to store 24 bytes of data in just 4 bytes
