opencv CIELAB

CIELAB is a color space in image processing and computer vision, often used with OpenCV. It is designed to be perceptually uniform, meaning that a small change in color values should correspond to a similar change in perceived color. The CIELAB color space consists of three components: L for lightness, a for the green-red axis, and b for the blue-yellow axis.

In OpenCV, you can work with CIELAB color space using the cvtColor function to convert an image from one color space to another. To convert an image to CIELAB, you can use the code snippet below:

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

int main() {
    cv::Mat image = cv::imread("input.jpg");
    
    cv::Mat labImage;
    cv::cvtColor(image, labImage, cv::COLOR_BGR2Lab);
    
    // Further processing with the CIELAB image
    
    return 0;
}

In the code above, we read an input image using `imread` function. Then, we convert the image from BGR color space to CIELAB color space using `cvtColor` function with the `cv::COLOR_BGR2Lab` flag. After converting, you can perform further processing using the CIELAB image.
