Actually no paper has mentioned that if they are invariant to colour space or they depend on a specific colour space. As far as I know, most non-ML image processing algorithms require linear RGB; this processing is not done in this module yet.
The difference is performance (qualitatively, measured by overlapping area (OA) in colour histogram) is largely due to the discrete nature of the small image and thus the resultant histogram is often very discrete.
