- 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 PNM (Portable Any Map Image) file format is a subset of the broader Netpbm format, designed for storing various types of digital images. It acts as an umbrella term for three specific types of grayscale, color, and black-and-white images, represented by PBM (Portable Bitmap), PGM (Portable Graymap), and PPM (Portable Pixmap) formats respectively. PNM files are known for their simplicity and ease of conversion to other image formats.
