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 VICAR file extension, developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is a raster image format designed for storing and processing multi-dimensional scientific data from space missions. It includes metadata labels and image data, supporting various data types used in biomedical imaging and geological studies. The format ensures data integrity and usability, and the open-source VICAR software system enhances accessibility for scientific research.
