- Description
- The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) file format is a digital file format used primarily in astronomy for storing, transmitting, and analyzing scientific images and data. Developed in the late 1970s, FITS was designed to provide a standard for the interchange of astronomical data, facilitating the sharing and analysis of data among astronomers and researchers worldwide.
- YUV video file format is a type of file used to store video data that has been encoded using the YUV color space. The YUV color model represents images by separating the luminance (Y) component from the chrominance (U and V) components. This separation allows for efficient video compression and broadcast transmission because the human eye is more sensitive to luminance details than to color differences. YUV files are often used in video processing and editing applications, as well as in professional broadcasting.
