为什么OpenCV里的图像的色调（hue）值的范围是0~180？
In the case of HSV or HLS representations, hue is normally represented as a value from
0 to 360.* Th is can cause trouble in 8-bit representations and so, when converting to
HSV, the hue is divided by 2 when the output image is an 8-bit image.
意思就是8bit不方便表示0-360，而255和360对应起来没有180和360对应起来方便。
