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.

JPEG 2000 Code Stream (.j2c)

The J2C file extension stands for JPEG 2000 Code Stream, a format defined in Part 1 of the JPEG 2000 standard. Developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) from 1997 to 2000, J2C files utilize wavelet-based compression, supporting both lossy and lossless compression. This format is primarily used for high-quality image storage and transmission, offering superior compression efficiency and flexibility compared to the original JPEG standard. J2C files are often embedded within other file formats like JP2 for enhanced metadata support.
