The JPEG color space is badly name, as the JPEG specification (ITU-T
T.81) doesn't define any particular color space:
The interchange format does not specify a complete coded image
representation. Application-dependent information, e.g. colour
space, is outside the scope of this Specification.
The JFIF specification (ITU-T T.871) is clearer as it requires ITU-R
BT.601 YCbCr encoding and a full quantization range:
The interpretations of Y, CB, and CR are derived from the E'Y, E'Cb,
and E'Cr signals defined in the 625-line specification of Rec. ITU-R
BT.601, but these signals are normalized so as to permit the usage of
the full range of 256 levels of the 8-bit binary encoding of the Y
component.
It however doesn't specify color primaries or a transfer function
explicitly. It only mentions the latter when describing the conversion
from YCbCr to RGB:
The inverse relationship for computing full scale 8-bit per colour
channel gamma pre-corrected RGB values (following Rec. ITU-R BT.601
gamma pre-correction and colour primary specifications) from YCbCr
colours (with 256 levels per component) can be computed as follows:
[...]
Given that ITU-R BT.601-5 (1995) didn't specify color primaries or a
transfer function, and that the later ITU-R BT.601-7 (2011) version
specifies color primaries for the 625-line variant that do not match
sRGB, the JPEG color space in libcamera is badly named. This is
confirmed by ITU-T T.871:
As this Recommendation | International Standard is based on the prior
informally-circulated JFIF version 1.02 specification that was
produced in 1992, which referenced Rec. ITU-R BT.601 (formerly CCIR
601), it references that specification for definition of the E'Y,
E'Cb, and E'Cr signals that correspond to the YCBCR values specified
herein. However, since the development of the prior JFIF version 1.02
specification, additional industry specifications have been developed,
Rec. ITU-R BT.601 has been updated, and common industry practice has
emerged which often follows the sYCC specification in IEC
61966-2-1/Amd.1. The difference between the use of the colour
interpretation specification in this Recommendation | International
Standard and that of the sYCC specification may be considered
negligible in practice.
Rename the color space to sYCC, as its definition matches the sYCC
standard, and indicate that it is typically used to encode JPEG images.
