ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Y and H transforms

Do you like puzzles? Imagine you have a very big puzzle in front of you and it has lots of little pieces that you need to put together to make a picture. To make this puzzle, you need to use a special tool called a "y and h transform".

The "y" in the y and h transform stands for "luma", which means brightness. So, the "y" part of the tool helps us to find out how bright each little piece of the picture should be.

The "h" stands for "chroma", which means color. So, the "h" part of the tool helps us to find out what color each little piece should be.

When we use the y and h transform tool, we take all the little pieces of the puzzle and we measure their brightness and color. Then we use this information to decide how to put the pieces together to make a picture. It's kind of like mixing paint colors or baking a cake, where we need to use the right ingredients in the right amounts to make something that looks good.

So, the y and h transform helps us to make sure that the picture we put together looks just right, with the right brightness and color in each part of the image.
