skimage.color.lab2lch(lab) [source]

CIE-LAB to CIE-LCH color space conversion.

LCH is the cylindrical representation of the LAB (Cartesian) colorspace

Parameters:	lab : array_like The N-D image in CIE-LAB format. The last (N+1-th) dimension must have at least 3 elements, corresponding to the L, a, and b color channels. Subsequent elements are copied.
Returns:	out : ndarray The image in LCH format, in a N-D array with same shape as input lab.
Raises:	ValueError If lch does not have at least 3 color channels (i.e. l, a, b).

Notes

The Hue is expressed as an angle between (0, 2*pi)

Examples

>>> from skimage import data
>>> from skimage.color import rgb2lab, lab2lch
>>> img = data.astronaut()
>>> img_lab = rgb2lab(img)
>>> img_lch = lab2lch(img_lab)
