- Description
- The National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) is a file format developed for the purpose of standardizing the storage and exchange of digital imagery and associated metadata among various government agencies and their contractors. It is widely used by the military, intelligence, and other governmental organizations to handle satellite and aerial imagery, maps, and other types of geospatial information. The NITF supports a wide range of imagery types, including but not limited to infrared, radar, and optical images. The format is designed to ensure interoperability and to facilitate the dissemination of critical imagery intelligence within secure and classified environments.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
