Color types in Milena

From LRDE

Abstract

The Olena project provides a generic library for image processing, Milena. We want this library to feature many value types so that the user can always choose the relevant types for his application. For instance, we provide many grey-level types, many color types, etc. This seminar focuses on how we implement color types in Milena. There are different color spaces (RGB, HSI, and so on) and several possible encodings for the same color space (rgb_3x8, rgb_f, etc.). One objective of ours is to make things easy for the user. In particular, we want the user to handle color values without being concerned of internal mechanisms. For instance, in conversion formulas, we do not want to see the details of implementation (division by 255).
