The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
The G3 file extension denotes the CCITT Group 3 Fax Image, a specialized format for encoding bi-level images, optimized for fax transmissions. It employs a lossless compression method to preserve image quality while minimizing file size and incorporates error correction capabilities to ensure dependable data transmission.
