Luma is the weighted sum of gamma-compressed R′G′B′ components of a color video—the prime symbols ′ denote gamma compression. The word was proposed to prevent confusion between luma as implemented in video engineering and relative luminance as used in color science (i.e. as defined by CIE).
Luminance only, Chrominance only, and full color image. Chrominance ( chroma or C for short) is the signal used in video systems to convey the color information of the picture (see YUV color model), separately from the accompanying luma signal (or Y' for short).
"Luminance" can mean several things even within the context of video and imaging: luminance is the photometric brightness of an object (in units of cd/m 2), taking into account the wavelength-dependent sensitivity of the human eye (the photopic curve); relative luminance is the luminance relative to a white level, used in a color-space encoding;
This template is designed to simplify adding information about system requirements to articles about computer programs. It renders a table containing minimum and (optionally) recommended system requirements. Up to nine platforms are supported. Please remember: Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate items. As such, tables of system ...
A short video explaining the concept of video codecs. A video codec is software or hardware that compresses and decompresses digital video.In the context of video compression, codec is a portmanteau of encoder and decoder, while a device that only compresses is typically called an encoder, and one that only decompresses is a decoder.
The attribute of visual perception in accordance with which an area appear to emit more of less light. (Luminance is the recommended name for the photo-electric quantity which has also been called brightness.) Broadband In TV system use, a device having a bandpass greater than the band of a single VHF TV channel. Burned-In-Image Also called burn.
The sun has a luminance of about 1.6 × 10 9 cd/m 2 at noon. [3] Luminance is invariant in geometric optics. [4] This means that for an ideal optical system, the luminance at the output is the same as the input luminance. For real, passive optical systems, the output luminance is at most equal to the input.
When appearing on light bulb packages, brightness means luminous flux, while in other contexts it means luminance. [5] Luminous flux is the total amount of light coming from a source, such as a lighting device. Luminance, the original meaning of brightness, is the amount of light per solid angle coming from an area, such as the sky.
