Developed in the mid-1980s by the United States Department of Defense, the CALS format was part of an initiative to standardize electronic document management and interchange, particularly for military and government applications.
- MAT (MATLAB Image Format) is an image file format created by MathWorks for storing and sharing MATLAB data and images. It contains data in a binary format, as well as metadata describing the image. MAT files can be used to store images, 3D models, and other types of data.
