Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support Type 1 Image (.cal)

The CAL file extension, known as CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image, is a 1-bit black-and-white raster image format developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the mid-1980s to standardize graphics data interchange for military documentation. It is primarily used for storing and sharing monochrome images while retaining orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images.

Binary Image Entity (.bie)

The BIE file extension, associated with the Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group, stands for "Binary Image Entity". This format was developed for efficient compression of binary images, primarily used in fax transmissions. Introduced in 1993, JBIG1 provided lossless compression, outperforming earlier standards like CCITT Group 3 and 4. It was later succeeded by JBIG2, which offered improved compression efficiency for bi-level images.
