  /**
   * Computes the YPbPr values from a given RGB color representation
   * (rgbaPixel).
   *
   * In the literature, technical and scientific, there is often confusion
   * among the color spaces YUV, YCbCr and YPbPr.  Poynton in
   * http://www.poynton.com/notes/colour_and_gamma/ColorFAQ.html explains that
   * YUV is usually never correctly meant, because the color space normally
   * used for component digital video is the YCbCr (ITU-RS601 or CCIR-601).
   * Other devices use the YPbPr, but the "real" YUV is rarely employed.
   *
   * The CVR-Lib provides all three spaces:
   *
   * - YCbCr: cvr::splitImageToYCbCr used by IEEE 1394 FireWire cameras
   * - YPbPr: cvr::splitImageToYPbPr used by some WebCams
   * - YUV:   cvr::splitImageToYUV   did they really meant to use this?
   *
   * This functor splits an RGB images into the color space YPbPr
   * using the conversion equations given by the above mentioned reference:
   *
   * \f[
   * \begin{bmatrix}
   * Y \\
   * Pb \\
   * Pr
   * \end{bmatrix}
   * =
   * \begin{bmatrix}
   *  0.299    &  0.587    &  0.114   \\
   * -0.168736 & -0.331264 &  0.5     \\
   *  0.5      & -0.418688 & -0.081312
   * \end{bmatrix}
   * \begin{bmatrix}
   * R \\
   * G \\
   * B
   * \end{bmatrix}
   * \f]
   *
   * In the formula above, RGB have been assumed to be in the intervall [0,1].
   * With it, the Y values will have also be in [0,1], while Pb and Pr will lie
   * between [-0.5 and 0.5].  For the ubyte types an offset of 128 is added to
   * the Pb and Pr values, which are previously scaled by 255.
