MX3's YUV to RGB conversion in motion detection code

MX3 has used the following conversions :-

R = Y + 1.402*V + 0.5

G = Y -  0.3444*U - 0.7141V + 0.5

B = Y  + 1.7719*U + 0.5

all clipped to 0 to 255.

These do not seem to correspond to published conversions.

The nearest I have seen are  :-

R = Y + (1.402*(V-128))

G = Y - 0.34414*(U-128) - 0.71414*(V-128)

B = Y + (1.772 * (U-128))


They do not look equivalent to me.

MX3 has used the following conversions :-
Not only mx3, but also GrAnd in histogram calculation.

Camera and CHDK uses signed values for u and v (-128 and 127 for maximal saturation, 0  (or -0.5?) for zero saturation).
In your equations u and v are unsigned values (0 and 255 for maximal saturation, 128 (or 127.5?) for zero saturation).
So, both set of equations are equal.
But why 0.5 is added in CHDK calculations? I don't know.

This is round up (toward +infinity).
But looks little strange, because it will round negative and positive numbers in different way.
1.5 will be rounded to 2, but -1.5 will be rounded to -1
Adding 0.5 is acceptable for formula with unsigned values (0...255).
But in motion detector and histogram this does not give any noticeable error, so can be left untouched.

'cu' and 'cv' are declared as int and are therefore signed.

I return their values in a uBasic variable, which is a signed int.

I use uBasic 'print' to display the value, internally that uses format specifier %d (signed decimal integer).

The result is 0 to 255, not -127 to +128.


Those are the values used in the RGB calculations.

Should 'cu' and 'cv' be declared as 'char' (assuming that is signed) ?

How? This may be an error in the conversion.

char is unsigned by default on ARM platform.

Yes, I just discovered that when testing my code.

I will post details shortly, I just want to check the RGB calculation results.

At least my spotmeter function is now returning negative values for U and V.

EDIT:

So, I have  :-

int spotmeter[3];

and in a loop :

spotmeter[1]+=(signed char)img[(y*vp_w+x)*3];

and after 96 samples from centre of screen :

ubasic_set_variable(1,spotmeter[1]/96);

returns the result in variable 'b'.

The calculated RGB values (calculated 'externally' with uBasic) are then correct.
