- 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 JPEG 2000 Code Stream (j2c) file format is a type of image file format that is part of the JPEG 2000 family of image standards. This format is specifically designed for encoding images in a highly efficient manner, allowing for both lossless (exact reproduction) and lossy (approximate) compression. The j2c format focuses on the core coding stream of JPEG 2000 images, representing the encoded image data without additional metadata or structure.
