- Description
- The Marks Russel File (MRF) format is a specialized file type primarily associated with geospatial data visualization and processing. It serves as a container for multi-resolution imagery, allowing for efficient storage and rapid access to large-scale, high-resolution satellite or aerial images. MRF files are particularly useful in geographic information system (GIS) applications, where they facilitate seamless zooming and panning across detailed maps. This format is designed to optimize performance in web-based mapping applications and support distributed access to geospatial data.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
