- Description
- The VICAR (Video Image Communication And Retrieval) Image file format is a flexible, image-processing and data format system used primarily by the planetary science community. Developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for storing and managing digital images from space missions, VICAR files are designed to support a wide range of image types, including scientific and engineering data from various spacecraft instruments. This format is characterized by its ability to handle multi-dimensional arrays of data.
- The OTB (Nokia Over The Air Bitmap Image) file format is a type of image file developed for use on Nokia mobile devices. These files are specifically optimized for efficient transmission and display on Nokia phones, particularly older models. The OTB format is designed to be compact to facilitate over-the-air (OTA) transmission, which was an essential feature in the era of limited bandwidth and data transfer capabilities. The format supports monochrome graphics, making it suitable for simple images like icons and logos.
