FAQ
LAN to TIF 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 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.
