YIQ Color System

The YIQ color system is used by the NTSC color TV system. It was defined in the original 1953 color NTSC specification.

It is similar to the YUV color system.
It specifies 1 luminance and 2 chrominance components (Inphase and Quadrature). 这些参数通过对 RGB 坐标进行线性变换而相关。
亮度携带黑白信息。
The I and Q chrominance carry the chromatic information, roughly corresponding to the orange-blue contrast and purple-green contrast respectively. 它们经常被进行下采样而不损失视觉质量。相对于 YUV U V 分量,它们被去相移 33°。
