FAQ
LAN to CIT Conversion
What are LAN files?
LAN is a multiband raster image format of ERDAS, used by the 7.x generation of the ERDAS image processing software, which was later replaced by ERDAS IMAGINE and its .img format. It became widely known as the format for Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite scenes, in which the same area is recorded in several spectral bands, such as visible light and infrared. A file of this type contains all the bands of a scene together, preceded by a short header with the image size and other basic information. The format was widely used in remote sensing, forestry, and land-use mapping, and many programs can still read it today. Its sibling, the .gis format, holds a single band of classified data, such as a land cover map.
What are CIT files?
A CIT file represents a black-and-white raster image created using an Intergraph Security, Government and Infrastructure (SG&I) piece of software. Until a few years ago, Intergraph was considered one of largest software developers in the world, and is part of Hexagon AB since 2010. The company provides IT services all over the world to governments and businesses, and apart from the SG&I division it also includes one called Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) and another called Hexagon Geospatial.
