Q51 / 100
Why is the YCbCr (or YUV) color model frequently chosen for video compression?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is C) It separates luminance from chrominance, letting color information be compressed more aggressively since the eye is less sensitive to it
C
Correct Answer
It separates luminance from chrominance, letting color information be compressed more aggressively since the eye is less sensitive to it
Explanation
YCbCr separates brightness (Y) from color (Cb, Cr), enabling chroma subsampling — reducing color data with little perceived quality loss because human vision is more sensitive to brightness than to color detail.
