hsi

Usually, images taken by the camera have an RGB format. If we represent the RGB model in a
3-D coordinate system then red can be represented on the x-axis, green can be represented on
the y-axis and blue can be represented on the z-axis where every axis varies from 0 to 255.
Here, origin(0,0,0) represents black colour and extreme points of all the axes(255,255,255)
represent white colour while intermediate values represent different sets of colours. Same as
RGB, HSI has 3 components Hue(H) which represents different set of colour in circular form
with angle between 00 to 3600 degree where 00 represents red colour, Saturation(S) represents
what amount of white light is present in the colour which increases along the radius while
Intensity(I) represents brightness of the colour which increases along the height of the cylinder.
Black is at the origin of the cylinder and as height increases, it tends to white(as shown in fig.
2.7). HSI is converted from RGB through the help of the transformation formula. Below
equations shows the HSI conversion from RGB values.[5]
