IMAGING GLOSSARYHSV (color imaging)
A color model that defines colors based on their Hue, Saturation and
value.
Hue is what the color is. This tells where along the spectrum your
color lies. This value wraps around; the extreme high value (white) and the
extreme low value (black) translate into the same value on the color scale.
Saturation can be loosely thought of as how pure the color is.
Greater values (more white) in the saturation channel make the color appear
stronger. Lower values (less white, tending to black) make the color appear
very washed out.
Value is how bright the color is. White values in this channel have
the maximum brightness, black values have no brightness at all.
