Hey Chris, I wonder if you would be interested in seeing more color space
conversions being added to the colorconv.py module, or if you are deliberately keeping it simple? For instance, I would like to add conversions to and from CIE LAB, and to allow alternative white points.
+1 on more color conversions!
I'm also interested in seeing conversions to and from human cone LMS spaces available somewhere for SciPy users. I'm not sure whether or not this kind of thing would be appropriate for scikits.image.
LMS is definitely interesting. We also have some code around to reproduce other human-like color spaces (e.g. opponent space from Itti & Walther, see Walther's PhD Thesis, Appendix A.2 http://bit.ly/deN6iU), as well as all the color spaces used in Geusebroek & van de Sande (as in http://bit.ly/bKg9nBor http://bit.ly/bYLF21). Would you be interested in these? I'll be happy to add them too. Please feel free to contribute any color space you'd like, possibly using Cython if you need speed. Thanks. Cheers, N
I thought I should first post a short message about this before starting anything. I'm aware that the SciPy image sandbox used to contain more conversions, probably in a slightly confusing way (e.g.http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/browser/trunk/Lib/sandbox/image/ color.py?rev=1698http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/browser/trunk/Lib/sandbox/image/color.py?rev...). Anyway, please let me know what you think.
Thanks, Chris
