- 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 JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
