- Description
- The JPEG 2000 Code Stream (j2c) file format is a type of image file format that is part of the JPEG 2000 family of image standards. This format is specifically designed for encoding images in a highly efficient manner, allowing for both lossless (exact reproduction) and lossy (approximate) compression. The j2c format focuses on the core coding stream of JPEG 2000 images, representing the encoded image data without additional metadata or structure.
- 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.
