GFF to TIF 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 TIF files?
TIF (Tagged Image File) is a popular type of raster graphic file, suitable both for handling with various types of image editing software and with scanning or printing equipment. Since the 1980s when it was created, the TIF format has received a series of improvements, so at the moment there are several types of the TIFs available. Some of the main advantages of using TIF files include flexibility and high image quality.
