YCbCr to RGB from matrix table - math

Below is a matrix to convert RGB to YCbCr. Can you tell me how can I get formula to convert YCbCr to RGB?
I mean, I have YCbCr value available and I want to get RGB from it.

If you are asking how the formula is derived, you may want to search for "color coordinate systems". This page has a good discussion on the YCbCr space, in particular.
We know that almost any color can be represented as a linear combination of red, green, and blue. But you can transform (or "rotate") that coordinate system such that the three basis elements are no longer RGB, but something else. In the case of YCbCr, the Y layer is the luminance layer, and Cb and Cr are the two chrominance layers. Cb correlates more closely to blue, and Cr correlates more closely to red.
YCbCr is often preferred because the human visual system is more sensitive to changes in luminance than quantitatively equivalent changes in chrominance. Therefore, an image coder such as JPEG can compress the two chrominance layers more than the luminance layer, resulting in a higher compression ratio.
EDIT: I misunderstood the question. (You should edit it to clarify.) Here is the formula to get RGB from YCbCr, taken from the above link:
r = 1.0 * y' + 0 * cB + 1.402 * cR
g = 1.0 * y' - 0.344136 * cB - 0.714136 * cR
b = 1.0 * y' + 1.772 * cB + 0 * cR

I'm not going to account for the round portion, but since M looks invertible:
You can round the resulting vector.

Y = 0.2126*(219/255)*R + 0.7152(219/255)*G + 0.0722*(219/255)*B + 16
CB = -0.2126/1.18556*(224/255)*R - 0.7152/1.8556(224/255)*G + 0.5*(219/255)*B + 128
CR = 0.5*(224/255)*R - 0.7152/1.5748(224/255)*G - 0.0722/1.5748*(224/255)*B + 128

http://www.fourcc.org/fccyvrgb.php has YUV to RGB conversions.

Convert to float and apply (since the coeff. are BT.709-2):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YCbCr#ITU-R_BT.709_conversion
1 0 1.5748
1 -0.1873 -0.4681
1 1.8556 0

These are the equations that work for 0-255 colors. Here they are in C
RGB to YCBCR
y = 0.299* (r) + 0.587 * (g) + 0.114* (b);
cb= 128 - 0.168736* (r) - 0.331364 * (g) + 0.5* (b);
cr= 128 + 0.5* (r) - 0.418688 * (g) - 0.081312* (b);
YCBCR to RGB
r = (y) + 1.402 * (cr -128);
g = (y) - 0.34414 * (cb - 128) - 0.71414 * (cr - 128);
b = (y) + 1.772 * (cb - 128);

Minimum distance between two circles along a specified vector on a cartesian plane

I am trying to solve the following problem (I am using Matlab, though pseudo-code / solutions in other languages are welcome):
I have two circles on a Cartesian plane defined by their centroids (p1, p2) and their radii (r1, r2). circle 1 (c1 = [p1 r1]) is considered 'dynamic': it is being translated along the vector V = [0 -1]. circle 2 (c2 = [p2 r2]) is considered 'static': it lies in the path of c1 but the x component of its centroid is offset from the x component of c2 (otherwise the solution would be trivial: the distance between the circle centroids minus the sum of their radii).
I am trying to locate the distance (d) along V at which circle 1 will 'collide' with circle 2 (see the linked image). I am sure that I can solve this iteratively (i.e. translate c1 to the bounding box of c2 then converge / test for intersection). However, I would like to know if there is a closed form solution to this problem.
Shift coordinates to simplify expressions
px = p1.x - p2.x
py = p1.y - p2.y
And solve quadratic equation for d (zero, one, or two solutions)
px^2 + (py - d)^2 = (r1 + r2)^2
(py - d)^2 = (r1 + r2)^2 - px^2
d = py +/- Sqrt((r1 + r2)^2 - px^2)
That's all.
As the question title does not match the question and accepted answer which is dependent on a fixed vector {0, -1}, or {0, 1} rather than an arbitrary vector I have added another solution that works for any unit vector.
Where (See diagram 1)
dx, dy is the unit vector of travel for circle c1
p1, p2 the centers of the moving circle c1 and static circle c2
r1, r2 the radius of each circle
The following will set d to the distance c1 must travel along dx, dy to collide with c2 if no collision the d will be set to Infinity
There are three cases when there is no solution
The moving circle is moving away from the static circle. u < 0
The moving circle never gets close enough to collide. dSq > rSq
The two circles are already overlapping. u < 0 luckily the math makes
this the same condition as moving away.
Note that if you ignore the sign of u (1 and 3) then d will be the distance to first (causal) contact going backward in time
Thus the pseudo code to find d
d = Infinity
rSq = (r1 + r2) ^ 2
u = (p1.x - p2.x) * dx + (p1.x - p2.x) * dy
if u >= 0
dSq = ((p2.x + dx * u) - p1.x) ^ 2 + ((p2.y + dy * u) - p1.y) ^ 2
if dSq <= rSq
d = u - (rSq - dSq) ^ 0.5
The point of contact can be found with
cpx = p1.x + dx * d;
cpy = p1.x + dy * d;

Formula to create simple MIDI velocity curves

I'm trying to figure out a simple math formula that will allow me to apply various velocity curves to an incoming MIDI value. In the picture below, the starting x,y is (0,0) and ending x,y is (127,127). I'm trying to get a formula with a single variable that will allow me to produce simple expanded or contracted curves always bumping in the middle (by a degree of the variable). My input will be a value between 0 and 127, and my output will always be between 0 and 127. This seems like it should be easy, but my college calculus is escaping me at the moment.
Let's start by marking the four corners as:
S = (0,0)
E = (127,127)
U = (0,127)
V = (127,0)
You are looking for a circle equation which passes through E, S and a third point Z on the line between U and V. Let's mark it Z:
Z(t) = t*U + (1-t)*V
I will use the fact the the perpendicular bisectors of two chords meet at the center.
The bisectors B1 and B2 are:
B1 = (Xz/2 , Yz/2)
B2 = ((127+Xz)/2 , (127+Yz)/2)
The slopes of the perpendiculars are the negative inverse of the slope of the chords so:
Slope1 = - (127-Xz)/(127-Yz)
Slope2 = - Xz/Yz
Using the straight line equation for a point and a slope
L1 = y = Slope1*(x - B1x) + B1y
L2 = y = Slope2*(x - B2x) + B2y
The center of the circle C is their intersection:
Cx = [B2y-B1y + Slope1*B1x - Slope2*B2x]/[Slope1 - Slope2]
Cy = [Slope2*(B2y-B1y + Slope1*B1x - Slope2*B2x)]/[Slope1-Slope2] - Slope2*B2x +B2y
So we have the left hand side of the circle equation:
(x-Cx)^2 + (y-Cy)^2 = R^2
What's missing is the radius. But it is just the distance between C and any of our initial points. Computing from S is the easiest because it is (0,0):
R = square-root( [Cx-Sx]^2 + [Cy-Sy]^2 ) = square-root( Cx^2 + Cy^2)
So finally if you substitute all the definitions (probably easier to do in a program than to type it here) then you will obtain a function of a single variable t:
(x-Cx)^2 + (y-Cy)^2 = Cx^2 + Cy^2
note: you will get a straight line for t = 0.5 , but you can easily substitute t' = t-0.5 and only play with t'
I wanted a simple quadratic bezier curve from p0 (0,0) to p2 (127,127) based on a movable control point p1 that would range between (0,127) and (127,0). I wanted the position of the control point to be determined by a deviation variable. This is how I solved it based on my deviation variable being a number between -100 and 100 (0 being a linear line, the negative side representing pic 2 and positive side representing pic 3).
/// <summary>
/// Converts a MIDI value based on a velocity curve
/// </summary>
/// <param name="value">The value to convert</param>
/// <param name="deviation">The amount of deviation from a linear line from -100 to 100</param>
private int ConvertMidiValue(int value, double deviation)
{
if (deviation < -100 || deviation > 100)
throw new ArgumentException("Value must be between -100 and 100", "deviation");
var minMidiValue = 0d;
var maxMidiValue = 127d;
var midMidiValue = 63.5d;
// This is our control point for the quadratic bezier curve
// We want this to be between 0 (min) and 63.5 (max)
var controlPointX = midMidiValue + ((deviation / 100) * midMidiValue);
// Get the percent position of the incoming value in relation to the max
var t = (double)value / maxMidiValue;
// The quadratic bezier curve formula
// B(t) = ((1 - t) * (1 - t) * p0) + (2 * (1 - t) * t * p1) + (t * t * p2)
// t = the position on the curve between (0 and 1)
// p0 = minMidiValue (0)
// p1 = controlPointX (the bezier control point)
// p2 = maxMidiValue (127)
// Formula can now be simplified as:
// B(t) = ((1 - t) * (1 - t) * minMidiValue) + (2 * (1 - t) * t * controlPointX) + (t * t * maxMidiValue)
// What is the deviation from our value?
var delta = (int)Math.Round((2 * (1 - t) * t * controlPointX) + (t * t * maxMidiValue));
return (value - delta) + value;
}
This results in value curves ranging between the three shown below (blue is -100, gray is 0 and red is 100):

Deform a triangle along vector to get a specific angle

I am trying to create a binary tree from a lot of segments in 3d space sharing the same origin.
When merging two segments I want to have a specific angle between the lines to the child nodes.
The following image illustrates my problem. C shows the position of the parent node and A and B the child positions. N is the average vector of the vectors from C to A and C to B.
With a given angle, how can I determine point P?
Thanks for any help
P = C + t * ((A + B)/2 - C) t is unknown parameter
PA = A - P PA vector
PB = B - P PB vector
Tan(Fi) = (PA x PB) / (PA * PB) (cross product in the nominator, scalar product in the denominator)
Tan(Fi) * (PA.x*PB.x + PA.y*PB.y) = (PA.x*PB.y - PA.y*PB.x)
this is quadratic equation for t, after solving we will get two (for non-degenerate cases) possible positions of P point (the second one lies at other side of AB line)
Addition:
Let's ax = A.x - A point X-coordinate and so on,
abcx = (ax+bx)/2-cx, abcy = (ay+by)/2-cy
pax = ax-cx - t*abcx, pay = ay-cy - t*abcy
pbx = bx-cx - t*abcx, pby = by-cy - t*abcy
ff = Tan(Fi) , then
ff*(pax*pbx+pay*pby)-pax*pby+pay*pbx=0
ff*((ax-cx - t*abcx)*(bx-cx - t*abcx)+(ay-cy - t*abcy)*(by-cy - t*abcy)) -
- (ax-cx - t*abcx)*(by-cy - t*abcy) + (ay-cy - t*abcy)*(bx-cx - t*abcx) =
t^2 *(ff*(abcx^2+abcy^2)) +
t * (-2*ff*(abcx^2+abcy^2) + abcx*(by-ay) + abcy*(ax-bx) ) +
(ff*((ax-cx)*(bx-cx)+(ay-cy)*(by-cy)) - (ax-cx)*(by-cy)+(bx-cx)*(ay-cy)) =0
This is quadratic equation AA*t^2 + BB*t + CC = 0 with coefficients
AA = ff*(abcx^2+abcy^2)
BB = -2*ff*(abcx^2+abcy^2) + abcx*(by-ay) + abcy*(ax-bx)
CC = ff*((ax-cx)*(bx-cx)+(ay-cy)*(by-cy)) - (ax-cx)*(by-cy)+(bx-cx)*(ay-cy)
P.S. My answer is for 2d-case!
For 3d: It is probably simpler to use scalar product only (with vector lengths)
Cos(Fi) = (PA * PB) / (|PA| * |PB|)
Another solution could be using binary search on the vector N, whether P is close to C then the angle will be smaller and whether P is far from C then the angle will be bigger, being it suitable for a binary search.

Computing the 3D coordinates on a unit sphere from a 2D point

I have a square bitmap of a circle and I want to compute the normals of all the pixels in that circle as if it were a sphere of radius 1:
The sphere/circle is centered in the bitmap.
What is the equation for this?
Don't know much about how people program 3D stuff, so I'll just give the pure math and hope it's useful.
Sphere of radius 1, centered on origin, is the set of points satisfying:
x2 + y2 + z2 = 1
We want the 3D coordinates of a point on the sphere where x and y are known. So, just solve for z:
z = ±sqrt(1 - x2 - y2).
Now, let us consider a unit vector pointing outward from the sphere. It's a unit sphere, so we can just use the vector from the origin to (x, y, z), which is, of course, <x, y, z>.
Now we want the equation of a plane tangent to the sphere at (x, y, z), but this will be using its own x, y, and z variables, so instead I'll make it tangent to the sphere at (x0, y0, z0). This is simply:
x0x + y0y + z0z = 1
Hope this helps.
(OP):
you mean something like:
const int R = 31, SZ = power_of_two(R*2);
std::vector<vec4_t> p;
for(int y=0; y<SZ; y++) {
for(int x=0; x<SZ; x++) {
const float rx = (float)(x-R)/R, ry = (float)(y-R)/R;
if(rx*rx+ry*ry > 1) { // outside sphere
p.push_back(vec4_t(0,0,0,0));
} else {
vec3_t normal(rx,sqrt(1.-rx*rx-ry*ry),ry);
p.push_back(vec4_t(normal,1));
}
}
}
It does make a nice spherical shading-like shading if I treat the normals as colours and blit it; is it right?
(TZ)
Sorry, I'm not familiar with those aspects of C++. Haven't used the language very much, nor recently.
This formula is often used for "fake-envmapping" effect.
double x = 2.0 * pixel_x / bitmap_size - 1.0;
double y = 2.0 * pixel_y / bitmap_size - 1.0;
double r2 = x*x + y*y;
if (r2 < 1)
{
// Inside the circle
double z = sqrt(1 - r2);
.. here the normal is (x, y, z) ...
}
Obviously you're limited to assuming all the points are on one half of the sphere or similar, because of the missing dimension. Past that, it's pretty simple.
The middle of the circle has a normal facing precisely in or out, perpendicular to the plane the circle is drawn on.
Each point on the edge of the circle is facing away from the middle, and thus you can calculate the normal for that.
For any point between the middle and the edge, you use the distance from the middle, and some simple trig (which eludes me at the moment). A lerp is roughly accurate at some points, but not quite what you need, since it's a curve. Simple curve though, and you know the beginning and end values, so figuring them out should only take a simple equation.
I think I get what you're trying to do: generate a grid of depth data for an image. Sort of like ray-tracing a sphere.
In that case, you want a Ray-Sphere Intersection test:
http://www.siggraph.org/education/materials/HyperGraph/raytrace/rtinter1.htm
Your rays will be simple perpendicular rays, based off your U/V coordinates (times two, since your sphere has a diameter of 2). This will give you the front-facing points on the sphere.
From there, calculate normals as below (point - origin, the radius is already 1 unit).
Ripped off from the link above:
You have to combine two equations:
Ray: R(t) = R0 + t * Rd , t > 0 with R0 = [X0, Y0, Z0] and Rd = [Xd, Yd, Zd]
Sphere: S = the set of points[xs, ys, zs], where (xs - xc)2 + (ys - yc)2 + (zs - zc)2 = Sr2
To do this, calculate your ray (x * pixel / width, y * pixel / width, z: 1), then:
A = Xd^2 + Yd^2 + Zd^2
B = 2 * (Xd * (X0 - Xc) + Yd * (Y0 - Yc) + Zd * (Z0 - Zc))
C = (X0 - Xc)^2 + (Y0 - Yc)^2 + (Z0 - Zc)^2 - Sr^2
Plug into quadratic equation:
t0, t1 = (- B + (B^2 - 4*C)^1/2) / 2
Check discriminant (B^2 - 4*C), and if real root, the intersection is:
Ri = [xi, yi, zi] = [x0 + xd * ti , y0 + yd * ti, z0 + zd * ti]
And the surface normal is:
SN = [(xi - xc)/Sr, (yi - yc)/Sr, (zi - zc)/Sr]
Boiling it all down:
So, since we're talking unit values, and rays that point straight at Z (no x or y component), we can boil down these equations greatly:
Ray:
X0 = 2 * pixelX / width
Y0 = 2 * pixelY / height
Z0 = 0
Xd = 0
Yd = 0
Zd = 1
Sphere:
Xc = 1
Yc = 1
Zc = 1
Factors:
A = 1 (unit ray)
B
= 2 * (0 + 0 + (0 - 1))
= -2 (no x/y component)
C
= (X0 - 1) ^ 2 + (Y0 - 1) ^ 2 + (0 - 1) ^ 2 - 1
= (X0 - 1) ^ 2 + (Y0 - 1) ^ 2
Discriminant
= (-2) ^ 2 - 4 * 1 * C
= 4 - 4 * C
From here:
If discriminant < 0:
Z = ?, Normal = ?
Else:
t = (2 + (discriminant) ^ 1 / 2) / 2
If t < 0 (hopefully never or always the case)
t = -t
Then:
Z: t
Nx: Xi - 1
Ny: Yi - 1
Nz: t - 1
Boiled farther still:
Intuitively it looks like C (X^2 + Y^2) and the square-root are the most prominent figures here. If I had a better recollection of my math (in particular, transformations on exponents of sums), then I'd bet I could derive this down to what Tom Zych gave you. Since I can't, I'll just leave it as above.

Intersection on circle of vector originating inside circle

I have a circle. Inside the circle is a point. I have a vector originating at this point. I'd like to know what point on the circle this vector intersects. Here is a drawing:
http://n4te.com/temp/circle.png http://n4te.com/temp/circle.png
The red dot is the point I am trying to determine.
I know these things: the center of the circle, the origin of the vector, and the direction of the vector.
I know this is basic stuff, but I'm still having trouble. Most of the Googlings bring me to line-circle collision, which is related but not quite the same. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Elementary vector algebra.
O — center of circle (vector)
r — its radius (scalar)
A — origin of ray (vector)
k — direction of ray (vector)
Solve (A + kt - O)² = r² for scalar t, choose positive root, and A + kt is your point.
Further explanation:
. is dot product, ² for a vector is dot product of the vector with itself. Expand LHS
(A + kt - O)² = (A - O)² + 2(k.(A - O))t + k²t².
The quadratic is k²t² + 2(k.(A - O))t + (A - O)² - r² = 0. In terms of your variables, this becomes (rayVX² + rayVY²)t² + 2(rayVX(rayX - circleX) + rayVY(rayY - circleY))t + (rayX - circleX)² + (rayY - circleY)² - r² = 0.
Much thanks to Anton Tykhyy for his detailed answer. This was the resulting Java code:
float xDiff = rayX - circleX;
float yDiff = rayY - circleY;
float a = rayVX * rayVX + rayVY * rayVY;
float b = 2 * (rayVX * (rayX - circleX) + rayVY * (rayY - circleY));
float c = xDiff * xDiff + yDiff * yDiff - r * r;
float disc = b * b - 4 * a * c;
if (disc >= 0) {
float t = (-b + (float)Math.sqrt(disc)) / (2 * a);
float x = rayX + rayVX * t;
float y = rayY + rayVY * t;
// Do something with point.
}
