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.
The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
