LAN to RLA 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 RLA files?
The RLA image format, whose name stands for Run-Length Encoded Version A, is associated with the animation package Wavefront Advanced Visualizer. RLAs are output files storing 3D data and used for exchanging graphical data with other applications. They store several types of information, including images captured from live video, 3D rendered images and graphic images, field-rendered images and multichannel rendered image data.
