FAQ
ERS to DCX Conversion
What are ERS files?
ERS is the header file of the ER Mapper raster format, developed for the ER Mapper image processing software, now part of ERDAS. A dataset of this type consists of two files: a plain-text header with the .ers extension and a binary data file with the same base name and no extension. The header describes the data in a structured, readable form, including the number of lines, cells, and bands, the data type of the pixels, the cell size, the byte order, and the coordinate system. The data file stores the pixel values themselves, without compression. The format is used for satellite and aerial imagery, geophysical grids, and elevation models, particularly in mining, exploration, and remote sensing, and it is recognized by many mapping and geoscience programs.
What are DCX files?
DCX files are multi-page images consisting of raster graphics, usually used to create fax files and functioning as a header that introduces a series of ensuing PCX files. DCX is a bitmap format and was initially developed together with the PCX format by Zsoft Corp. and was associated with PC Paintbrush. This graphics editing software was popular in the late 1980s on computers using the MS-DOS operating system, and later on it was adapted for Windows too.
