Transform a colormap or image from red-green-blue (RGB) color space to luminance-chrominance (NTSC) space. The input may be of class uint8, uint16, single, or double. The output is of class double.
Implementation Note: The reference matrix for the transformation is
/Y\ 0.299 0.587 0.114 /R\ |I| = 0.596 -0.274 -0.322 |G| \Q/ 0.211 -0.523 0.312 \B/
as documented in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YIQ and truncated to 3 significant figures. Note: The FCC version of NTSC uses only 2 significant digits and is slightly different.
