Frank Barchard 3c5fa6ef27 libyuv] Replace hardcoded RGB to YUV functions with Matrix variants
Removes non-matrix implementations for RGB24, RAW, RGB565, ARGB1555,
and ARGB4444 conversions. Introduces RGBToYMatrixRow, RGBToUVMatrixRow,
and equivalent functions for 16-bit and 24-bit formats. These functions
utilize a 2-step conversion internally (to ARGB, then to YUV) inside
row_common.cc for C, AVX2, and NEON, allowing the high-level
convert.cc logic to execute in a single pass using ArgbConstants.

libyuv is an open source project that includes YUV scaling and conversion functionality.

  • Scale YUV to prepare content for compression, with point, bilinear or box filter.
  • Convert to YUV from webcam formats for compression.
  • Convert to RGB formats for rendering/effects.
  • Rotate by 90/180/270 degrees to adjust for mobile devices in portrait mode.
  • Optimized for SSSE3/AVX2 on x86/x64.
  • Optimized for Neon/SVE2/SME on Arm.
  • Optimized for MSA on Mips.
  • Optimized for RVV on RISC-V.
