FAQ
MPL to AVIF Conversion
What are MPL files?
MPL is the map list file of ILWIS (Integrated Land and Water Information System), an open-source GIS and remote sensing program developed at the ITC in the Netherlands. A map list is a way to group several raster maps that belong together, such as the spectral bands of a satellite image or a series of maps from different dates. Instead of holding the pictures themselves, the file records the names of the raster maps in the list and the georeference they share, which ties them to places on the ground. Grouping the maps makes it possible to process all of them at once, for example in classification or time-series analysis. The raster maps themselves are saved in separate files with the .mpr extension.
What are AVIF files?
AVIF is a new image format launched at the end of 2020. AV1 Image File Format was developed by the Alliance for Open Media in collaboration with Netflix, Google and Cisco. This format was created to be an open-sourced and royalty-free image format with a super-compression efficiency. Multiple graphics compression tests show that the .avif format outperforms the JPEG, PNG and WebP image formats for its image quality to compressed file size ratio.
