The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
The MAT file (short for MATrix) is a data file format used by MATLAB to store variables, functions, and arrays, including images. It was developed by MathWorks to facilitate data exchange and storage within the MATLAB environment. The format is widely used in scientific and engineering applications for its ability to preserve complex data structures and multidimensional arrays.
