[media] DocBook media: rewrite the Colorspace chapter 

The colorspace chapter in the V4L2 Specification was always poorly
written. This patch rewrites it, documenting the new Y'CbCr encoding
and quantization defines and going into much more detail with respect
to how colorspaces are used and what it all means.

<para>'Color' is a very complex concept and depends on physics, chemistry and
biology. Just because you have three numbers that describe the 'red', 'green'
and 'blue' components of the color of a pixel does not mean that you can accurately
display that color. A colorspace defines what it actually <emphasis>means</emphasis>
to have an RGB value of e.g. (255,&nbsp;0,&nbsp;0). That is, which color should be
reproduced on the screen in a perfectly calibrated environment.</para>

http://vektor.theorem.ca/graphics/ycbcr/ and
http://www.poynton.com/notes/colour_and_gamma/ColorFAQ.html -->
<para>In order to do that we first need to have a good definition of
color, i.e. some way to uniquely and unambiguously define a color so that someone
else can reproduce it. Human color vision is trichromatic since the human eye has
color receptors that are sensitive to three different wavelengths of light. Hence
the need to use three numbers to describe color. Be glad you are not a mantis shrimp
as those are sensitive to 12 different wavelengths, so instead of RGB we would be
using the ABCDEFGHIJKL colorspace...</para>

<para>Color exists only in the eye and brain and is the result of how strongly
color receptors are stimulated. This is based on the Spectral
Power Distribution (SPD) which is a graph showing the intensity (radiant power)
of the light at wavelengths covering the visible spectrum as it enters the eye.
The science of colorimetry is about the relationship between the SPD and color as
perceived by the human brain.</para>
<para>Since the human eye has only three color receptors it is perfectly
possible that different SPDs will result in the same stimulation of those receptors
and are perceived as the same color, even though the SPD of the light is
different.</para>
<para>In the 1920s experiments were devised to determine the relationship
between SPDs and the perceived color and that resulted in the CIE 1931 standard
that defines spectral weighting functions that model the perception of color.
Specifically that standard defines functions that can take an SPD and calculate
the stimulus for each color receptor. After some further mathematical transforms
these stimuli are known as the <emphasis>CIE XYZ tristimulus</emphasis> values
and these X, Y and Z values describe a color as perceived by a human unambiguously.
These X, Y and Z values are all in the range [0&hellip;1].</para>
<para>The Y value in the CIE XYZ colorspace corresponds to luminance. Often
the CIE XYZ colorspace is transformed to the normalized CIE xyY colorspace:</para>
<para>x = X / (X + Y + Z)</para>
<para>y = Y / (X + Y + Z)</para>
<para>The x and y values are the chromaticity coordinates and can be used to
define a color without the luminance component Y. It is very confusing to
have such similar names for these colorspaces. Just be aware that if colors
are specified with lower case 'x' and 'y', then the CIE xyY colorspace is
used. Upper case 'X' and 'Y' refer to the CIE XYZ colorspace. Also, y has nothing
to do with luminance. Together x and y specify a color, and Y the luminance.
That is really all you need to remember from a practical point of view. At
the end of this section you will find reading resources that go into much more
detail if you are interested.
</para>
<para>A monitor or TV will reproduce colors by emitting light at three
different wavelengths, the combination of which will stimulate the color receptors
in the eye and thus cause the perception of color. Historically these wavelengths
were defined by the red, green and blue phosphors used in the displays. These
<emphasis>color primaries</emphasis> are part of what defines a colorspace.</para>
<para>Different display devices will have different primaries and some
primaries are more suitable for some display technologies than others. This has
resulted in a variety of colorspaces that are used for different display
technologies or uses. To define a colorspace you need to define the three
color primaries (these are typically defined as x,&nbsp;y chromaticity coordinates
from the CIE xyY colorspace) but also the white reference: that is the color obtained
when all three primaries are at maximum power. This determines the relative power
or energy of the primaries. This is usually chosen to be close to daylight which has
been defined as the CIE D65 Illuminant.</para>
<para>To recapitulate: the CIE XYZ colorspace uniquely identifies colors.
Other colorspaces are defined by three chromaticity coordinates defined in the
CIE xyY colorspace. Based on those a 3x3 matrix can be constructed that
transforms CIE XYZ colors to colors in the new colorspace.
</para>
<para>Both the CIE XYZ and the RGB colorspace that are derived from the
specific chromaticity primaries are linear colorspaces. But neither the eye,
nor display technology is linear. Doubling the values of all components in
the linear colorspace will not be perceived as twice the intensity of the color.
So each colorspace also defines a transfer function that takes a linear color
component value and transforms it to the non-linear component value, which is a
closer match to the non-linear performance of both the eye and displays. Linear
component values are denoted RGB, non-linear are denoted as R'G'B'. In general
colors used in graphics are all R'G'B', except in openGL which uses linear RGB.
Special care should be taken when dealing with openGL to provide linear RGB colors
or to use the built-in openGL support to apply the inverse transfer function.</para>
<para>The final piece that defines a colorspace is a function that
transforms non-linear R'G'B' to non-linear Y'CbCr. This function is determined
by the so-called luma coefficients. There may be multiple possible Y'CbCr
encodings allowed for the same colorspace. Many encodings of color
prefer to use luma (Y') and chroma (CbCr) instead of R'G'B'. Since the human
eye is more sensitive to differences in luminance than in color this encoding
allows one to reduce the amount of color information compared to the luma
data. Note that the luma (Y') is unrelated to the Y in the CIE XYZ colorspace.
Also note that Y'CbCr is often called YCbCr or YUV even though these are
strictly speaking wrong.</para>
<para>Sometimes people confuse Y'CbCr as being a colorspace. This is not
correct, it is just an encoding of an R'G'B' color into luma and chroma
values. The underlying colorspace that is associated with the R'G'B' color
is also associated with the Y'CbCr color.</para>
<para>The final step is how the RGB, R'G'B' or Y'CbCr values are
quantized. The CIE XYZ colorspace where X, Y and Z are in the range
[0&hellip;1] describes all colors that humans can perceive, but the transform to
another colorspace will produce colors that are outside the [0&hellip;1] range.
Once clamped to the [0&hellip;1] range those colors can no longer be reproduced
in that colorspace. This clamping is what reduces the extent or gamut of the
colorspace. How the range of [0&hellip;1] is translated to integer values in the
range of [0&hellip;255] (or higher, depending on the color depth) is called the
quantization. This is <emphasis>not</emphasis> part of the colorspace
definition. In practice RGB or R'G'B' values are full range, i.e. they
use the full [0&hellip;255] range. Y'CbCr values on the other hand are limited
range with Y' using [16&hellip;235] and Cb and Cr using [16&hellip;240].</para>
<para>Unfortunately, in some cases limited range RGB is also used
where the components use the range [16&hellip;235]. And full range Y'CbCr also exists
using the [0&hellip;255] range.</para>
<para>In order to correctly interpret a color you need to know the
quantization range, whether it is R'G'B' or Y'CbCr, the used Y'CbCr encoding
and the colorspace.
From that information you can calculate the corresponding CIE XYZ color
and map that again to whatever colorspace your display device uses.</para>
<para>The colorspace definition itself consists of the three
chromaticity primaries, the white reference chromaticity, a transfer
function and the luma coefficients needed to transform R'G'B' to Y'CbCr. While
some colorspace standards correctly define all four, quite often the colorspace
standard only defines some, and you have to rely on other standards for
the missing pieces. The fact that colorspaces are often a mix of different
standards also led to very confusing naming conventions where the name of
a standard was used to name a colorspace when in fact that standard was
part of various other colorspaces as well.</para>
<para>If you want to read more about colors and colorspaces, then the
following resources are useful: <xref linkend="poynton" /> is a good practical
book for video engineers, <xref linkend="colimg" /> has a much broader scope and
describes many more aspects of color (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.).
The <ulink url="http://www.brucelindbloom.com">http://www.brucelindbloom.com</ulink>
website is an excellent resource, especially with respect to the mathematics behind
colorspace conversions. The wikipedia <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space#CIE_xy_chromaticity_diagram_and_the_CIE_xyY_color_space">CIE 1931 colorspace</ulink> article
is also very useful.</para>

<title>Defining Colorspaces in V4L2</title>
<para>In V4L2 colorspaces are defined by three values. The first is the colorspace
identifier (&v4l2-colorspace;) which defines the chromaticities, the transfer
function, the default Y'CbCr encoding and the default quantization method. The second
is the Y'CbCr encoding identifier (&v4l2-ycbcr-encoding;) to specify non-standard
Y'CbCr encodings and the third is the quantization identifier (&v4l2-quantization;)
to specify non-standard quantization methods. Most of the time only the colorspace
field of &v4l2-pix-format; or &v4l2-pix-format-mplane; needs to be filled in. Note
that the default R'G'B' quantization is always full range for all colorspaces,
so this won't be mentioned explicitly for each colorspace description.</para>
