下面这段代码到底想干啥？求大佬详细解释

def generate_colormap(num_classes):
    color_map = num_classes * [0, 0, 0]
    for i in range(0, num_classes):
        j = 0
        lab = i
        while lab:
            color_map[i * 3] |= (((lab >> 0) & 1) << (7 - j))
            color_map[i * 3 + 1] |= (((lab >> 1) & 1) << (7 - j))
            color_map[i * 3 + 2] |= (((lab >> 2) & 1) << (7 - j))
            j += 1
            lab >>= 3
    color_map = [color_map[i:i + 3] for i in range(0, len(color_map), 3)]
    return color_map

位运算和不同运算结合 到底想干啥？
