9*4882a593SmuzhiyunThese formats store the color information of the image
10*4882a593Smuzhiyunin a geometrical representation. The colors are mapped into a
11*4882a593Smuzhiyuncylinder, where the angle is the HUE, the height is the VALUE
12*4882a593Smuzhiyunand the distance to the center is the SATURATION. This is a very
13*4882a593Smuzhiyunuseful format for image segmentation algorithms.
