In general
==========
There are planar and packed modes.
- Planar mode means: You have 3 separate images, one for each component,
each image 8 bits/pixel. To get the real colored pixel, you have to
mix the components from all planes. The resolution of planes may differ!
- Packed mode means: you have all components mixed/interleaved together,
so you have small "packs" of components in a single, big image.
There are RGB and YUV colorspaces.
- RGB: Red, Green and Blue components. Used by analog VGA monitors.
- YUV: Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (U,V) components. Used by some
video systems, like PAL. Also most M(J)PEG/DCT based codecs use this.
With YUV, they used to reduce the resolution of U,V planes:
The most common YUV formats:
FOURCC: bpp: IEEE: plane sizes: (w=width h=height of original image)
444P 24 YUV 4:4:4 Y: w * h U,V: w * h
YUY2,UYVY 16 YUV 4:2:2 Y: w * h U,V: (w/2) * h [MJPEG]
YV12,I420 12 YUV 4:2:0 Y: w * h U,V: (w/2) * (h/2) [MPEG, H.263]
411P 12 YUV 4:1:1 Y: w * h U,V: (w/4) * h [DV-NTSC, CYUV]
YVU9,IF09 9 YUV 4:1:0 Y: w * h U,V: (w/4) * (h/4) [Sorenson, Indeo]
The YUV a:b:c naming style means: for <a> samples of Y there are <b> samples
of UV in odd lines and <c> samples of UV in even lines.
conversion: (some cut'n'paste from www and maillist)
RGB to YUV Conversion:
Y = (0.257 * R) + (0.504 * G) + (0.098 * B) + 16
Cr = V = (0.439 * R) - (0.368 * G) - (0.071 * B) + 128
Cb = U = -(0.148 * R) - (0.291 * G) + (0.439 * B) + 128
YUV to RGB Conversion:
B = 1.164(Y - 16) + 2.018(U - 128)
G = 1.164(Y - 16) - 0.813(V - 128) - 0.391(U - 128)
R = 1.164(Y - 16) + 1.596(V - 128)
In both these cases, you have to clamp the output values to keep them in
the [0-255] range. Rumour has it that the valid range is actually a subset
of [0-255] (I've seen an RGB range of [16-235] mentioned) but clamping the
values into [0-255] seems to produce acceptable results to me.
Julien (sorry, I can't recall his surname) suggests that there are
problems with the above formula and proposes the following instead:
Y = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B
Cb = U'= (B-Y)*0.565
Cr = V'= (R-Y)*0.713
with reciprocal versions:
R = Y + 1.403V'
G = Y - 0.344U' - 0.714V'
B = Y + 1.770U'
Note: This formula doesn't contain the +128 offsets of U,V values!
Conclusion:
Y = luminance, the weighted average of R G B components. (0=black 255=white)
U = Cb = blue component (0=green 128=grey 255=blue)
V = Cr = red component (0=green 128=grey 255=red)
Huh. The planar YUV modes.
==========================
The most misunderstood thingie...
In MPlayer, we usually have 3 pointers to the Y, U and V planes, so it
doesn't matter what the order of the planes in the memory is:
for mp_image_t and libvo's draw_slice():
planes[0] = Y = luminance
planes[1] = U = Cb = blue
planes[2] = V = Cr = red
Note: planes[1] is ALWAYS U, and planes[2] is V, the FOURCC
(YV12 vs. I420) doesn't matter here! So, every codec using 3 pointers
(not only the first one) normally supports YV12 and I420 (=IYUV), too!
But there are some codecs (VfW, dshow) and vo drivers (xv) ignoring the 2nd
and 3rd pointer that use only a single pointer to the planar YUV image. In
this case we must know the right order and alignment of planes in the memory!
from the webartz fourcc list:
YV12: 12 bpp, full sized Y plane followed by 2x2 subsampled V and U planes
I420: 12 bpp, full sized Y plane followed by 2x2 subsampled U and V planes
IYUV: the same as I420
YVU9: 9 bpp, full sized Y plane followed by 4x4 subsampled V and U planes
Huh 2. RGB vs. BGR ?
====================
The 2nd most misunderstood thingie...
You know, there are Intel and Motorola, and they use different byteorder.
There are also others, like MIPS or Alpha, but all follow either Intel
or Motorola byteorder.
Unfortunately, the packed colorspaces depend on CPU byteorder. So, RGB
on Intel and Motorola means different order of bytes.
In MPlayer, we have constants IMGFMT_RGBxx and IMGFMT_BGRxx.
Unfortunately, some codecs and vo drivers follow Intel, some follow Motorola
byteorder, so they are incompatible. We had to find a stable base, so long
time ago I've chosen OpenGL, as it's a wide-spreaded standard, and it well
defines what RGB is and what BGR is. So, MPlayer's RGB is compatible with
OpenGL's GL_RGB on all platforms, and the same goes for BGR - GL_BGR.
Unfortunately, most of the x86 codecs call our BGR RGB, so it sometimes
confuses developers.
memory order: name
lowest address .. highest address
RGBA IMGFMT_RGBA
ARGB IMGFMT_ARGB
BGRA IMGFMT_BGRA
ABGR IMGFMT_ABGR
RGB IMGFMT_RGB24
BGR IMGFMT_BGR24
order in an int name
most significant .. least significant bit
8A8R8G8B IMGFMT_BGR32
8A8B8G8R IMGFMT_RGB32
5R6G5B IMGFMT_BGR16
5B6G5R IMGFMT_RGB16
1A5R5G5B IMGFMT_BGR15
1A5B5G5R IMGFMT_RGB15
The following are palettized formats, the palette is in the second plane.
When they come out of the swscaler (this can be different when they
come from a codec!), their palette is organized in such a way
that you actually get:
3R3G2B IMGFMT_BGR8
2B3G3R IMGFMT_RGB8
1R2G1B IMGFMT_BGR4_CHAR
1B2G1R IMGFMT_RGB4_CHAR
1R2G1B1R2G1B IMGFMT_BGR4
1B2G1R1B2G1R IMGFMT_RGB4
Depending upon the CPU being little- or big-endian, different 'in memory' and
'in register' formats will be equal (LE -> BGRA == BGR32 / BE -> ARGB == BGR32)
Practical coding guide:
The 4, 8, 15, and 16 bit formats are defined so that the portable way to
access them is to load the pixel into an integer and use bitmasks.
The 24 bit formats are defined so that the portable way to access them is
to address the 3 components as separate bytes, as in ((uint8_t *)pixel)[0],
((uint8_t *)pixel)[1], ((uint8_t *)pixel)[2].
When a 32-bit format is identified by the four characters A, R, G, and B in
some order, the portable way to access it is by addressing the 4 components
as separate bytes.
When a 32-bit format is identified by the 3 characters R, G, and B in some
order followed by the number 32, the portable way to access it is to load
the pixel into an integer and use bitmasks.
When the above portable access methods are not used, you will need to write
2 versions of your code, and use #if HAVE_BIGENDIAN to choose the correct
one.
