FAQ
BIN to EPI Conversion
What are BIN files?
BIN is a proprietary binary grid format developed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to distribute regional and national geoid height models, such as GEOID12B, GEOID18, and USGG2012. A file of this type stores continuous arrays of geoid-ellipsoid separations used to convert ellipsoidal heights obtained from GPS/GNSS measurements into orthometric heights (elevations above sea level). The format is completely uncompressed and structured strictly into fixed-length records without internal metadata tags. Spatial properties, including geographic boundaries, cell spacing, and grid dimensions, are defined entirely within a standardized binary file header, allowing geodetic software to compute precise height transformations across specific geographic regions.
What are EPI files?
EPI (Encapsulated Interchange Script) is an interchange format associated with Adobe Illustrator and represents a vector file used by graphic designers to create and edit drawings. EPI files can contain maps, logos, page layouts or several other types of drawings including text and graphics. Due to their vector format, EPI files can be incompatible with most popular image viewers.
