ToCIELUVColor

ToCIELUVColor[img] returns an ImageData expression with ColorFunction→CIELUVColor given an RGBColor image or a meshed or planar array of pixel values.

CIELUVColor is the 1976 CIE (Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage) perceptually uniform L^*u^*v^* color space.

The RGBColor to CIELUVColor transformation is based on the following formulas:

u^* = 13 L^*(u-u_n),

v^* = 13 L^*(v-v_n).

Intermediate values u, v and u_n, v_n are defined:

where X, Y, and Z are the CIEXYZColor tristimulus values and X_n, Y_n, and Z_n are the tristimulus values of the reference white point defined by the value of the option Illuminant.

ToCIELUVColor returns ligthness in the range 0≤L^*≤100, and the two color components ranging approximately -100≤u^*, v^*≤100.

The options Chromaticity and Illuminant may be used to modify particular attributes of the transformation.
