JPEG 2000 Code Stream Syntax (.j2k)

The J2K file extension stands for JPEG 2000 Code Stream Syntax, a part of the JPEG 2000 standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). Introduced in 2000, JPEG 2000 offers superior image compression and quality compared to the original JPEG format. The J2K codestream is highly flexible, supporting both lossy and lossless compression, and allows for scalable decoding, which means images can be efficiently accessed at various resolutions and quality levels. This makes J2K ideal for applications requiring high-quality image storage and transmission, such as medical imaging, digital cinema, and satellite imagery.

Radiance Scene Description (.rad)

The RAD file extension, associated with the Radiance software suite, stands for Radiance Scene Description. It is used to describe materials and geometry for lighting simulations and rendering programs. Developed by Greg Ward at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Radiance employs ray tracing and an octree data structure for accurate lighting calculations. RAD files are ASCII text files that must be compiled into an octree before rendering.
