Refers to the purity of color in a digital image. The less gray, white, or black a color has in it, the more pure and vivid it will appear. Also refered to as saturation.
The purity or degree of saturation of a color; relative absence of white or gray in a color.
The property of a color that makes it appear saturated, or strongly colored. Black, white, and gray have no chroma. A red tomato is high in chroma. Pastel colors are low in chroma. This attribute of color is used in the LCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue) color model.
Chrominance: The colour portion of the video signal that includes colour information. The luminance or intensity information is coded in a separate part of the signal. The decoder will combine the colour and intensity information and create the red, green and blue signals that are needed to define the picture to be displayed.
Color component of image or signal.
The colour portion of the video signal that includes hue and saturation information. Hue refers to a tint or shade of colour. Saturation indicates the degree to which the colour is diluted by luminance or illumination.
Describes the degree of departure from gray of the same lightness and increasing color (e.g. red, redder, pure red).
The relative purity, strength or saturation of a colour. It is directly related to the dominance of the determining wavelength of light.
The art and technique of making motion pictures, particularly the work done by motion picture camera operators; The comparative intensity or purity of a hue when compared to greyness or lack of hue.
This term is associated with colour and refers to the degree of saturation of a hue.
hue and saturation; color characteristics not related to intensity of lumination
An element of design that relates to the brightness and dullness of a color.
Characteristics of color a videotape absorbs with recorded signal, divided into two categories: AM (amplitude modulation) indicates color intensity; PM (phase modulation) indicates color purity.
The color portion of a video signal "C".
chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vividness of hue
The attribute of a visual sensation permitting the judgement of the degree to which a chromatic related colour differs from the achromatic colour the same lightness.” [2
Often referred to as chrominance or the color portion of a video signal.
The relative purity or saturation of a color; intensity of distinctive hue as related to grayness; one of the three variables of color.
Chromacity. This property of colour tells us how 'pure' a hue is (see below for hue). That means there is no white, black, or gray present in a colour that has high chroma - i.e. the colour will appear very vivid (see saturation) (more..)
The attribute of colour used to indicate the degree of departure from a grey of the same value. A measure of the purity of the colour. Similar to Saturation.
Attribute of a color that determines its relative strength,or saturation. In color space,the distance away from neutral.
Refers to the purity of color. The less gray, white, or black a color has in it, the more pure and vivid it will appear. Sometimes this term is used interchangeably with saturation.
One aspect of colors (other than those in the black-white scale): hue and saturation, or degree of vividness.
The color information in a video signal consisting of hue and saturation. See: Chrominance, Saturation, Hue
1. the purity of color or it's freedom from white, black, or gray. 2. The intensity of hues.
An aspect of color by which a sample appears to differ from a gray of the same brightness or lightness and that corresponds to saturation of the perceived color.
a color's strength or intensity.
A measurement of color. The degree of saturation of a hue. A color at its full intensity has maximum chroma.
Strength of a colour as compared to how close it seems to neutral grey. Also called depth, intensity, purity and saturation.
The element of a video signal that contains the colour information.
the relative purity of the spectral colour, which decreases with increasing greyness.
the degree of a color's brilliance.
The optical measurement of color saturation and/or intensity.
The signals, used in image reproduction systems, that represent the color components of the image. A black-and-white image has a chrominance value of zero.
Pure colour, free from white or gray. Also called hue.
Attribute of a visual sensation which permits a judgment to be made of the amounts of pure chromatic color present, irrespective of the amount of achromatic color. (CIE 45-25-235.) For colors of the same hue and brightness, chroma and saturation are equivalent. Chroma will increase with brightness, however, even if saturation is held constant. Chroma is used instead of saturation in the Munsell color system.
Color information in a video signal, consisting of hue (phase angle) and saturation (amplitude) of the color subcarrier signal.
The hue or color information associated with an image.
The strength or weakness of a chromatic color, such as a "weak color," a "strong color," or an "intense color." See also Saturation.
Video color, or saturation.
The color information of a video signal.
The color portion of the video signal.
The colour portion of a video signal that includes hue and saturation information. Requires luminance, or light intensity, to make it visible. Also referred to as Chrominance.
The color information contained in a video signal.
Strength of a color, how far it departs from neutral gray.
The range from neutral grey to full saturation of a single colour hue.
The NTSC or PAL video signal contains two pieces that make up what you see on the screen: the black and white (luma) and the color part (Chroma)
The relative intensity or purity of a hue when compared to grayness or lack of hue.
(chrominance signal) the portion of the video signal which provides color.
The part of the video signal that contains the color information.
The intensity of a color.
A quality of color, combining hue and saturation.
1. The purity of color or its freedom from white, black, or gray. 2. The intensity of hue.
The attribute of visual perception in accordance with which an area appears saturated with a particular color or hue. Example: a red apple is high in chroma; pastel colors are low in chroma; black, white and gray have no chroma (this attribute of color is used in the color model L*C*H - Lightness, Chroma, Hue); also referred to as Saturation.
Color intensity or purity of tone, being the degree of freedom from gray.
The part of the video signal which conveys colour information on the scene to be televised. This information is encoded into the video signal ie. not transmitted in its original form.
the relative purity, strength, or saturation of a color.
The colour info contained in a video signal.
The color information of a video picture.
Chroma is made up of the combination of saturation and hue, to determine a pixel's color.
is the color of an image element (pixel). Chroma is made up of saturation + hue values, but separate from the luminance value.
The nonlinear color component of a video signal, independent of the luma. Identified by the symbol C' (where ` indicates nonlinearity) but usually written as C because it's never linear in practice.
That qualities of color which embraces both hue and saturation. White, black, and grays have no chroma.
The color portion of a video signal. This term is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "chrominance," which is the actual displayed color information.
The quality of color which represented by both hue and saturation. White, black, and grays have no chroma.
A video term. A common shortening of the word "chrominance" which is the portion of the video signal containing color information.
Quality of color, which includes both hue and saturation.
A term for the saturation of hue but not the darkness or lightness of colour.
In the Munsell system, an index of saturation of colour ranging from 0 for natural grey to 16 for strong colours. A low chroma implies a pastel shade.
Intensity of color or purity
One of the three colour attributes; the relative intensity or purity of a colour. A colour with low chroma is closer to gray; a colour with high chroma would be seen as luminous or intense. Saturation is a related term. See also hue and value.
Short for chrominance. Chroma is the color component of the video signal.
The saturation or purity of a colour.
A measure of saturation associated with color.
A measure of saturation associated with colour.
The brilliance or dullness of a color. Also called "intensity."
the degree of a colour's brilliance.
