TSL color space

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TSL is a color space due to (Terrillon & Akamatsu 2000) that is used in face detection and based on tint, saturation and luminance.

The transformation from RGB to TSL is:

T = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{2\pi} \arctan{\frac{r'}{g'}} + \frac{1}{4}, & \mbox{if}~g'>0 \\ \frac{1}{2\pi} \arctan{\frac{r'}{g'}} + \frac{3}{4}, & \mbox{if}~g'<0 \\ \frac{1}{2}, & \mbox{if}~g'=0 \\ \end{cases}

S = \sqrt{\frac{9}{5}\left( r'^2 + g'^2 \right)}

L = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B

where:

r' = r - \tfrac{1}{3}

g' = g - \tfrac{1}{3}

r = \tfrac{R}{R+G+B}

g = \tfrac{G}{R+G+B}
