+HSV Formats
+***********
+
+These formats store the color information of the image
+in a geometrical representation. The colors are mapped into a
+cylinder, where the angle is the HUE, the height is the VALUE
+and the distance to the center is the SATURATION. This is a very
+useful format for image segmentation algorithms.

+Description
+===========
+
+The *hue* (h) is measured in degrees, one LSB represents two degrees.
+The *saturation* (s) and the *value* (v) are measured in percentage of the
+cylinder: 0 being the smallest value and 255 the maximum.
+
+
+The values are packed in 24 or 32 bit formats.
