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

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.

Image Capture Board (.icb)

The ICB file extension, associated with Targa Graphics, stands for Image Capture Board. It was originally used with the AT&T EPICenter Image Capture Board video card and software like ICB-PAINT and TARGA-PAINT. This format is a raster graphics file used for storing and exchanging deep-pixel images, supporting 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits per pixel. Developed by Truevision Inc., it played a significant role in early computer graphics for high-color display on IBM-compatible PCs.
