The size and shape of these ellipses vary in the color models used in image processing, including the HSI and
YIQ models.
Assessment scores (MOS with confidence interval) for each video scene in all three tests: SS-1 (YPbPr), SS-2 (YCbCr) and SS-3 (
YIQ) are presented in Fig.
Hence the conventional color spaces such as
YIQ, YCbCr, L*a*b*, and HSV are more effective than original RGB color space at face recognition.
Nonetheless, most of the studies so far used the green (G) component of RGB color space for blood vessel recognition with some using luminance (Y) from
YIQ color space [6].
There are many color spaces, some are designed for computer graphics, such as
YIQ, HSV, HIS and GLHS (generalized LHS) (AO Linmi, et al., 2001).

YIQ color spaces," International Journal of Computer Theory and Engineering, vol.
Therefore, majority of color spaces (YCbCr, HSV, YUV, HSL,
YIQ etc.) have been evolved or used for the identification of skin or non-skin pixels.
For example, in [10], Zhao and Xi introduced mean shift as a smooth filter for processing
YIQ color images and compared it with Wiener filter.
