Several different color spaces have been used in computer graphics and
computer vision work, see e.g. [A. Smith 1978], [GSPC-ACM 1979],
[Meyer \& Greenberg 1980], [Foley \& Van Dam 1982], [Cowan 1983],
[Rogers 1985], [Turkowski 1986], [Hill 1990], and
[Novak \& Shafer 1992] for some examples, and Appendix
for some mathematical definitions. Most of these spaces are derived from
either the RGB or CIE XYZ class of models. These derivations can involve
linear or non-linear transforms [Rogers 1985]. Many of the models
involved resemble the Munsell and Ostwald color spaces (Section
) in that they use dimensions corresponding to hue,
saturation, and one of brightness (HSB), value (HSV), intensity (HSI), or
lightness (HLS or LHS models). Some models have been inspired by opponent
process models of color perception (Section
).
