[comp.graphics] help requested re: YIQ->RGB conversion

lcp@slovax.UUCP (01/22/87)

    I would appreciate any information related to the conversion from YIQ to
RGB color value specification.  I have a basic understanding of each system,
but I have not found any literature describing how to convert from one system
to another.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

The conversion from YIQ to RGB coordinates is given by


	[R]	[ 1.00  0.95  0.62 ]   [Y]
	[G] =	[ 1.00 -0.28 -0.64 ] . [I]
	[B]	[ 1.00 -1.11  1.73 ]   [Q]

for a certain (standard) set of of  phosphor chromaticities.

And there is a short description of YIQ in Foley and van Dam.
