There’s some really cool features about lab-like color spaces. Particularly, the ability to quickly find, localize and transmit data (from with lower error rates):

In almost every computer vision class I took, switching to the LAB color space and rerunning algorithms also still always led to improvement.

The real trick in my mind is trying to do this via sensors and / or hardware.

The OKlab definition is probably a bit easier to implement in hardware than CIELAB since there’s no funny “if” branch. Still, the number representation will be more complicated than YUV and such… fp16 maybe?

IIRC author of the TFA has retweeted some shader implementation of OKlab for color interpolation.
