DAT to PPM Conversion
What are DAT files?
The DAT format is associated with images taken using a program developed by SPOT Image, a public company created by the French Space Agency with the aim of monitoring and studying natural resources and human activity on the entire planet Earth. SPOT Image distributes images taken by its two SPOT satellites in orbit and provides pictures from various spots on our planet, of varying resolutions.
What are PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
