The formula says:

Y = 0.299 * R + 0.587 * G + 0.114 * B;

U = -0.14713 * R - 0.28886 * G + 0.436 * B;

V = 0.615 * R - 0.51499 * G - 0.10001 * B;

What if, for example, the U variable becomes negative?

U = -0.14713 * R - 0.28886 * G + 0.436 * B;

Assume maximum values for R and G (ones) and B = 0 So, I am interested in implementing this convetion function in OpenCV, So, how to deal with negative values? Using float image? anyway please explain me, may be I don't understand something..
