- Description
- The VICAR (Video Image Communication and Retrieval) file format, abbreviated as VIC, is primarily used in the field of planetary science. It was developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to facilitate the storage, transmission, and processing of images from space missions. This format is designed to handle a wide range of image types, including scientific and astronomical imagery, by incorporating extensive metadata about the image capture parameters, processing history, and calibration information. VICAR files are essential for researchers and scientists working in space exploration and earth sciences, enabling detailed analysis and comparison of planetary images.
- A WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
