Converting an OpenCV BGR 8-bit Image to CIE L*a*b*

Question

I am trying to convert a given Mat representing an RGB image with 8-bit depth to Lab using the function provided in the documentation:

Answer 1

I am not sure about João Abrantes's range on A and B.

The opencv documentation has clearly mentioned the CIE L*a*b*range.

• 8 bit images

Thus leading to a range of

0 <= L <= 255
0 <= a <= 255
0 <= b <= 255
