- Description
- The PIX file format is associated with PCI Geomatics, a software suite used for geospatial image processing and analysis. A PCI Geomatics Database File (PIX) contains raster data, which represents geographic information in a pixelated format. This file type is specifically designed to store and manage complex geospatial datasets, including satellite imagery, aerial photos, and other forms of remote sensing data. The PIX format is capable of handling multiple bands or layers of data, making it suitable for various applications.
- The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) file format is a digital file format used primarily in astronomy for storing, transmitting, and analyzing scientific images and data. Developed in the late 1970s, FITS was designed to provide a standard for the interchange of astronomical data, facilitating the sharing and analysis of data among astronomers and researchers worldwide.
