将 RGB 转换为 HSV 并将 HSV 转换为 RGB 的算法，范围为 0-255

Question

我正在寻找从 RGB 到 HSV 的颜色空间转换器，特别是对于两个颜色空间的 0 到 255 范围。

Answer 1

I've used these for a long time - no idea where they came from at this point... Note that the inputs and outputs, except for the angle in degrees, are in the range of 0 to 1.0.

NOTE: this code does no real sanity checking on inputs. Proceed with caution!

typedef struct {
    double r;       // a fraction between 0 and 1
    double g;       // a fraction between 0 and 1
    double b;       // a fraction between 0 and 1
} rgb;

typedef struct {
    double h;       // angle in degrees
    double s;       // a fraction between 0 and 1
    double v;       // a fraction between 0 and 1
} hsv;

static hsv   rgb2hsv(rgb in);
static rgb   hsv2rgb(hsv in);

hsv rgb2hsv(rgb in)
{
    hsv         out;
    double      min, max, delta;

    min = in.r < in.g ? in.r : in.g;
    min = min  < in.b ? min  : in.b;

    max = in.r > in.g ? in.r : in.g;
    max = max  > in.b ? max  : in.b;

    out.v = max;                                // v
    delta = max - min;
    if (delta < 0.00001)
    {
        out.s = 0;
        out.h = 0; // undefined, maybe nan?
        return out;
    }
    if( max > 0.0 ) { // NOTE: if Max is == 0, this divide would cause a crash
        out.s = (delta / max);                  // s
    } else {
        // if max is 0, then r = g = b = 0              
        // s = 0, h is undefined
        out.s = 0.0;
        out.h = NAN;                            // its now undefined
        return out;
    }
    if( in.r >= max )                           // > is bogus, just keeps compilor happy
        out.h = ( in.g - in.b ) / delta;        // between yellow & magenta
    else
    if( in.g >= max )
        out.h = 2.0 + ( in.b - in.r ) / delta;  // between cyan & yellow
    else
        out.h = 4.0 + ( in.r - in.g ) / delta;  // between magenta & cyan

    out.h *= 60.0;                              // degrees

    if( out.h < 0.0 )
        out.h += 360.0;

    return out;
}


rgb hsv2rgb(hsv in)
{
    double      hh, p, q, t, ff;
    long        i;
    rgb         out;

    if(in.s <= 0.0) {       // < is bogus, just shuts up warnings
        out.r = in.v;
        out.g = in.v;
        out.b = in.v;
        return out;
    }
    hh = in.h;
    if(hh >= 360.0) hh = 0.0;
    hh /= 60.0;
    i = (long)hh;
    ff = hh - i;
    p = in.v * (1.0 - in.s);
    q = in.v * (1.0 - (in.s * ff));
    t = in.v * (1.0 - (in.s * (1.0 - ff)));

    switch(i) {
    case 0:
        out.r = in.v;
        out.g = t;
        out.b = p;
        break;
    case 1:
        out.r = q;
        out.g = in.v;
        out.b = p;
        break;
    case 2:
        out.r = p;
        out.g = in.v;
        out.b = t;
        break;

    case 3:
        out.r = p;
        out.g = q;
        out.b = in.v;
        break;
    case 4:
        out.r = t;
        out.g = p;
        out.b = in.v;
        break;
    case 5:
    default:
        out.r = in.v;
        out.g = p;
        out.b = q;
        break;
    }
    return out;     
}

Answer 2

You can also try this code without floats (faster but less accurate):

typedef struct RgbColor
{
    unsigned char r;
    unsigned char g;
    unsigned char b;
} RgbColor;

typedef struct HsvColor
{
    unsigned char h;
    unsigned char s;
    unsigned char v;
} HsvColor;

RgbColor HsvToRgb(HsvColor hsv)
{
    RgbColor rgb;
    unsigned char region, remainder, p, q, t;

    if (hsv.s == 0)
    {
        rgb.r = hsv.v;
        rgb.g = hsv.v;
        rgb.b = hsv.v;
        return rgb;
    }

    region = hsv.h / 43;
    remainder = (hsv.h - (region * 43)) * 6; 

    p = (hsv.v * (255 - hsv.s)) >> 8;
    q = (hsv.v * (255 - ((hsv.s * remainder) >> 8))) >> 8;
    t = (hsv.v * (255 - ((hsv.s * (255 - remainder)) >> 8))) >> 8;

    switch (region)
    {
        case 0:
            rgb.r = hsv.v; rgb.g = t; rgb.b = p;
            break;
        case 1:
            rgb.r = q; rgb.g = hsv.v; rgb.b = p;
            break;
        case 2:
            rgb.r = p; rgb.g = hsv.v; rgb.b = t;
            break;
        case 3:
            rgb.r = p; rgb.g = q; rgb.b = hsv.v;
            break;
        case 4:
            rgb.r = t; rgb.g = p; rgb.b = hsv.v;
            break;
        default:
            rgb.r = hsv.v; rgb.g = p; rgb.b = q;
            break;
    }

    return rgb;
}

HsvColor RgbToHsv(RgbColor rgb)
{
    HsvColor hsv;
    unsigned char rgbMin, rgbMax;

    rgbMin = rgb.r < rgb.g ? (rgb.r < rgb.b ? rgb.r : rgb.b) : (rgb.g < rgb.b ? rgb.g : rgb.b);
    rgbMax = rgb.r > rgb.g ? (rgb.r > rgb.b ? rgb.r : rgb.b) : (rgb.g > rgb.b ? rgb.g : rgb.b);

    hsv.v = rgbMax;
    if (hsv.v == 0)
    {
        hsv.h = 0;
        hsv.s = 0;
        return hsv;
    }

    hsv.s = 255 * long(rgbMax - rgbMin) / hsv.v;
    if (hsv.s == 0)
    {
        hsv.h = 0;
        return hsv;
    }

    if (rgbMax == rgb.r)
        hsv.h = 0 + 43 * (rgb.g - rgb.b) / (rgbMax - rgbMin);
    else if (rgbMax == rgb.g)
        hsv.h = 85 + 43 * (rgb.b - rgb.r) / (rgbMax - rgbMin);
    else
        hsv.h = 171 + 43 * (rgb.r - rgb.g) / (rgbMax - rgbMin);

    return hsv;
}

Note that this algorithm uses 0-255 as it's range (not 0-360 ) as that was requested by the author of this question.

Answer 3

I wrote this in HLSL for our rendering engine, it has no conditions in it:

    float3  HSV2RGB( float3 _HSV )
    {
        _HSV.x = fmod( 100.0 + _HSV.x, 1.0 );                                       // Ensure [0,1[

        float   HueSlice = 6.0 * _HSV.x;                                            // In [0,6[
        float   HueSliceInteger = floor( HueSlice );
        float   HueSliceInterpolant = HueSlice - HueSliceInteger;                   // In [0,1[ for each hue slice

        float3  TempRGB = float3(   _HSV.z * (1.0 - _HSV.y),
                                    _HSV.z * (1.0 - _HSV.y * HueSliceInterpolant),
                                    _HSV.z * (1.0 - _HSV.y * (1.0 - HueSliceInterpolant)) );

        // The idea here to avoid conditions is to notice that the conversion code can be rewritten:
        //    if      ( var_i == 0 ) { R = V         ; G = TempRGB.z ; B = TempRGB.x }
        //    else if ( var_i == 2 ) { R = TempRGB.x ; G = V         ; B = TempRGB.z }
        //    else if ( var_i == 4 ) { R = TempRGB.z ; G = TempRGB.x ; B = V     }
        // 
        //    else if ( var_i == 1 ) { R = TempRGB.y ; G = V         ; B = TempRGB.x }
        //    else if ( var_i == 3 ) { R = TempRGB.x ; G = TempRGB.y ; B = V     }
        //    else if ( var_i == 5 ) { R = V         ; G = TempRGB.x ; B = TempRGB.y }
        //
        // This shows several things:
        //  . A separation between even and odd slices
        //  . If slices (0,2,4) and (1,3,5) can be rewritten as basically being slices (0,1,2) then
        //      the operation simply amounts to performing a "rotate right" on the RGB components
        //  . The base value to rotate is either (V, B, R) for even slices or (G, V, R) for odd slices
        //
        float   IsOddSlice = fmod( HueSliceInteger, 2.0 );                          // 0 if even (slices 0, 2, 4), 1 if odd (slices 1, 3, 5)
        float   ThreeSliceSelector = 0.5 * (HueSliceInteger - IsOddSlice);          // (0, 1, 2) corresponding to slices (0, 2, 4) and (1, 3, 5)

        float3  ScrollingRGBForEvenSlices = float3( _HSV.z, TempRGB.zx );           // (V, Temp Blue, Temp Red) for even slices (0, 2, 4)
        float3  ScrollingRGBForOddSlices = float3( TempRGB.y, _HSV.z, TempRGB.x );  // (Temp Green, V, Temp Red) for odd slices (1, 3, 5)
        float3  ScrollingRGB = lerp( ScrollingRGBForEvenSlices, ScrollingRGBForOddSlices, IsOddSlice );

        float   IsNotFirstSlice = saturate( ThreeSliceSelector );                   // 1 if NOT the first slice (true for slices 1 and 2)
        float   IsNotSecondSlice = saturate( ThreeSliceSelector-1.0 );              // 1 if NOT the first or second slice (true only for slice 2)

        return  lerp( ScrollingRGB.xyz, lerp( ScrollingRGB.zxy, ScrollingRGB.yzx, IsNotSecondSlice ), IsNotFirstSlice );    // Make the RGB rotate right depending on final slice index
    }

Answer 4

Here's a C implementation based on Agoston's Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling: Implementation and Algorithms p. 304, with H ∈ [0, 360] and S , V ∈ [0, 1].

#include <math.h>

typedef struct {
    double r;       // ∈ [0, 1]
    double g;       // ∈ [0, 1]
    double b;       // ∈ [0, 1]
} rgb;

typedef struct {
    double h;       // ∈ [0, 360]
    double s;       // ∈ [0, 1]
    double v;       // ∈ [0, 1]
} hsv;

rgb hsv2rgb(hsv HSV)
{
    rgb RGB;
    double H = HSV.h, S = HSV.s, V = HSV.v,
            P, Q, T,
            fract;

    (H == 360.)?(H = 0.):(H /= 60.);
    fract = H - floor(H);

    P = V*(1. - S);
    Q = V*(1. - S*fract);
    T = V*(1. - S*(1. - fract));

    if      (0. <= H && H < 1.)
        RGB = (rgb){.r = V, .g = T, .b = P};
    else if (1. <= H && H < 2.)
        RGB = (rgb){.r = Q, .g = V, .b = P};
    else if (2. <= H && H < 3.)
        RGB = (rgb){.r = P, .g = V, .b = T};
    else if (3. <= H && H < 4.)
        RGB = (rgb){.r = P, .g = Q, .b = V};
    else if (4. <= H && H < 5.)
        RGB = (rgb){.r = T, .g = P, .b = V};
    else if (5. <= H && H < 6.)
        RGB = (rgb){.r = V, .g = P, .b = Q};
    else
        RGB = (rgb){.r = 0., .g = 0., .b = 0.};

    return RGB;
}

Answer 5

this should be on here: it works anyway. And it looks good compared to the above ones.

hlsl code

        float3 Hue(float H)
        {
            half R = abs(H * 6 - 3) - 1;
            half G = 2 - abs(H * 6 - 2);
            half B = 2 - abs(H * 6 - 4);
            return saturate(half3(R,G,B));
        }

        half4 HSVtoRGB(in half3 HSV)
        {
            return half4(((Hue(HSV.x) - 1) * HSV.y + 1) * HSV.z,1);
        }

float3 is 16 bit precision vector3 data type, ie float3 hue() is returns a data type (x,y,z) eg (r,g,b), half is same with half precision, 8bit, a float4 is (r,g,b,a) 4 values.

Answer 6

@fins's answer has an overflow issue on Arduio as you turn the saturation down. Here it is with some values converted to int to prevent that.

typedef struct RgbColor

    unsigned char r;
    unsigned char g;

} RgbColor;

typedef struct HsvColor

    unsigned char h;

    }

    return rgb;

Answer 7

This isn't C, but it's certainly does work. All the other methods I see here work by casing everything into parts of a hexagon, and approximating "angles" from that. By instead starting with a different equation using cosines, and solving for hs and v, you get a lot nicer relationship between hsv and rgb, and tweening becomes smoother (at the cost of it being way slower).

Assume everything is floating point. If rg and b go from 0 to 1, h goes from 0 to 2pi, v goes from 0 to 4/3, and s goes from 0 to 2/3.

The following code is written in Lua. It's easily translatable into anything else.

local hsv do
    hsv         ={}
    local atan2 =math.atan2
    local cos   =math.cos
    local sin   =math.sin

    function hsv.fromrgb(r,b,g)
        local c=r+g+b
        if c<1e-4 then
            return 0,2/3,0
        else
            local p=2*(b*b+g*g+r*r-g*r-b*g-b*r)^0.5
            local h=atan2(b-g,(2*r-b-g)/3^0.5)
            local s=p/(c+p)
            local v=(c+p)/3
            return h,s,v
        end
    end

    function hsv.torgb(h,s,v)
        local r=v*(1+s*(cos(h)-1))
        local g=v*(1+s*(cos(h-2.09439)-1))
        local b=v*(1+s*(cos(h+2.09439)-1))
        return r,g,b
    end

    function hsv.tween(h0,s0,v0,h1,s1,v1,t)
        local dh=(h1-h0+3.14159)%6.28318-3.14159
        local h=h0+t*dh
        local s=s0+t*(s1-s0)
        local v=v0+t*(v1-v0)
        return h,s,v
    end
end

GLSL Shader version based on Patapoms answer:

vec3 HSV2RGB( vec3 hsv )
{
    hsv.x = mod( 100.0 + hsv.x, 1.0 ); // Ensure [0,1[
    float   HueSlice = 6.0 * hsv.x; // In [0,6[

Answer 9

I'm not C++ developer so I will not provide code. But I can provide simple hsv2rgb algorithm (rgb2hsv here ) which I currently discover - I update wiki with description: HSV and HLS . Main improvement is that I carefully observe r,g,b as hue functions and introduce simpler shape function to describe them (without loosing accuracy). The Algorithm - on input we have: h (0-255), s (0-255), v(0-255)

r = 255*f(5),   g = 255*f(3),   b = 255*f(1)

We use function f described as follows

f(n) = v/255 - (v/255)*(s/255)*max(min(k,4-k,1),0)

where (mod can return fraction part; k is floating point number)

k = (n+h*360/(255*60)) mod 6;

Here are snippets/PoV in SO in JS: HSV and HSL

Answer 10

Here is an online converter with an article after explaining all the algorithms for color conversion.

You probably would prefer a ready-made C version but it should not be long to apply and it could help other people trying to do the same in another language or with another color space.

Answer 11

This link has formulas for what you want. Then it's a matter of performance (numerical techniques) if you want it fast.

Answer 12

Here's one which i just wrote this morning based on pretty much the same math as above:

/* math adapted from: http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/color/rgb-to-hsl.htm
 * reasonably optimized for speed, without going crazy */
void rgb_to_hsv (int r, int g, int b, float *r_h, float *r_s, float *r_v) {
  float rp, gp, bp, cmax, cmin, delta, l;
  int cmaxwhich, cminwhich;

  rp = ((float) r) / 255;
  gp = ((float) g) / 255;
  bp = ((float) b) / 255;

  //debug ("rgb=%d,%d,%d rgbprime=%f,%f,%f", r, g, b, rp, gp, bp);

  cmax = rp;

  cminwhich = 0;
  if (gp < cmin) { cmin = gp; cminwhich = 1; }

I created a possibly faster implementation by using 0-1 range for RGBS and V and 0-6 range for Hue (avoiding the division), and grouping the cases into two categories:

#include <math.h>
#include <float.h>

void fromRGBtoHSV(float rgb[], float hsv[])
{
//    for(int i=0; i<3; ++i)
//        rgb[i] = max(0.0f, min(1.0f, rgb[i]));

     hsv[0] = 0.0f;
     hsv[2] = max(rgb[0], max(rgb[1], rgb[2]));
     const float delta = hsv[2] - min(rgb[0], min(rgb[1], rgb[2]));

     if (delta < FLT_MIN)
         hsv[1] = 0.0f;
     else
     {
         hsv[1] = delta / hsv[2];
         if (rgb[0] >= hsv[2])
         {
             hsv[0] = (rgb[1] - rgb[2]) / delta;
             if (hsv[0] < 0.0f)
                 hsv[0] += 6.0f;
         }
         else if (rgb[1] >= hsv[2])
             hsv[0] = 2.0f + (rgb[2] - rgb[0]) / delta;
         else
             hsv[0] = 4.0f + (rgb[0] - rgb[1]) / delta;
     }    
}

void fromHSVtoRGB(const float hsv[], float rgb[])

        const int i = (int)h;
        const float f = h - i;
        const float p = hsv[2] * (1.0f - hsv[1]);

        if (i & 1) {

            case 2:

                rgb[1] = hsv[2];
                rgb[2] = t;

For 0-255 range just * 255.0f + 0.5f and assign it to an unsigned char (or divide by 255.0 to get the opposite).

How is this algorithm-

void RGB_to_HSV(float R, float G, float B){
    float H, S, V;
    float Max, Min;
    Max = max(R, G, B);
    Min= min(R, G, B);
    V= Max;

if(Max == 0){
  s=0;
}
else{
  s= Max-Min/Max;
}
if(s==0){
  H = undefined;
}
else{
  if(R == Max){
  H = (G-B)*60/Max-Min;
  if(H<0)
   H+ = 360;
}
elseif(G==Max){
    H = (B-R)*(60+120)/Max-Min;
}
else{
   H = (R-G)*(60+240)/Max-Min;
}
}
  printf('H S V');
}
