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 PICON file extension, short for Personal Icon, is primarily used for small personal icons. These icons are commonly employed in digital satellite receivers to identify various channels and on websites to add small icons to the web address bar. The PICON format, classified as a raster image file, supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its history traces back to its use in Dreambox satellite receivers, where it enhanced user interface customization.
