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 KERNEL file extension, associated with Morphology Kernel Image, stands for "Kernel Image File". It defines structuring elements for morphological operations like erosion, dilation, opening, and closing in image processing. These operations are crucial for tasks such as image segmentation, object detection, and noise removal. Originating in the 1960s with mathematical morphology, the KERNEL file encapsulates the shape and size of the structuring element, influencing the results of these operations.
