GFF to PNG Conversion
What are GFF files?
GFF (GSAT File Format) is a raster image format developed by Sandia National Laboratories in the United States to store images and image products from its synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. The name comes from the Ground-based SAR Applications Testbed (GSAT), the program in which the format was created. A file of this type consists of a header of variable length, which records the configuration and performance parameters of the instrument and the image, followed by a matrix of pixel data. The format was designed to allow custom annotation of radar images, and it has gone through several revisions as Sandia's radar programs developed. It remains the main image format of the laboratory, which keeps a large library of SAR images in this form.
What are PNG files?
The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was designed in the mid-1990s as an improved alternative to the previously existing JPG and GIF formats, and as an extension which would be particularly web-friendly. In time, PNG files have gained a wide popularity and are highly appreciated at the moment for their ability to provide a lossless compression of images, which translates in high-quality and detailed renderings.
