YUV is a colour space used in digital image processing and computer vision applications. It is used to represent colour information in a way that separates the luminance (brightness) from the chrominance (colour). This separation makes processing and compressing images easier without losing important visual information. YUV is commonly used in video compression standards like MPEG and H.264. One of the advantages of using YUV is that it allows for more efficient compression of video data, resulting in smaller file sizes and faster transmission over networks.
