- Description
- 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.
- Group 4 (G4) used for black and white lossless compression to maintain high-quality images, commonly used in TIFF format compression by fax machines. A picture is seen as black dots and lines on a blank page; the fewer the dots and lines are, the lesser the file size.
