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.
The VICAR (Video Image Communication and Retrieval) file extension is a specialized raster image format developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1966 to manage and process imaging data from unmanned planetary missions. It supports multi-dimensional scientific data, including spectroscopic, hyperspectral, and radar imagery, making it suitable for space exploration, biomedical imaging, and geological studies. The format includes metadata for data integrity and usability, and the software system is now open-source.
