A universal colour transformation architecture

Abstract A real-time transformation hardware for RGB to other colour models is presented here. Eight colour spaces, namely CMY , YIQ , HSV , HLS , CIEXYZ , CIExyY , CIELa * b * and YCrCb , have been tested for the system. Hardware results have then been compared against those generated by algorithmic implementations using floating point arithmetic for accuracy.
