How to use Show HSI Colors of Image

  1. 1. Upload the image to analyze. Add any image file. It's converted into the HSI color space, which separates color information from overall image intensity.
  2. 2. Review the hue, saturation and intensity panels. There are no settings to adjust. Each component is rendered as a grayscale strip, letting you see intensity independently from the color information in hue and saturation.
  3. 3. Download the channel strips. Save the file with all three HSI panels together for side-by-side comparison.

When to use Show HSI Colors of Image

Show HSI Colors of Image breaks a photo down into hue, saturation and intensity panels, a color model favored in image processing and computer vision for treating brightness separately from color. Use it to inspect exactly how a photo's intensity and color content are distributed.

  • Debugging a computer vision preprocessing step. A vision pipeline converts images to HSI before thresholding, and a result looks wrong on certain inputs. Viewing the actual HSI channels for a sample image helps pinpoint whether intensity or saturation is the problem.
  • Isolating lighting from color in a photo. You want to understand how much of a scene's variation comes from lighting rather than the actual colors of objects in it. The intensity panel shows brightness alone, separate from hue and saturation.
  • Comparing color models for a course or writeup. A tutorial on color spaces wants to show HSI alongside RGB and HSL for the same source photo. This tool produces the HSI breakdown to pair with the others.
