- 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 TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
