I don't think there is a yuv color space in gil. I'm no expert here
but it seems that adding such a color space seems trivial. The
conversion is explained here:

and a way to implement it in gil is is shown here:

Do you wanna create the yuv color space for gil?

Have a look at OpenCV it might be faster since it's using IPP in the background.
