FAQ
NSF to HRU Conversion
What are NSF files?
NSF is an extension used for files of the NATO Secondary Imagery Format (NSIF), which is the alliance's version of the American National Imagery Transmission Format. NATO armed forces and their partners need to exchange images from satellites, aircraft, and reconnaissance systems in a way that every member's equipment can read, and NSIF was created for this purpose, as the standard STANAG 4545. A file of this type is a package that holds one or several images together with graphics, text, and the information that describes them, for instance the sensor, the time, and the security classification. In practice, NSIF version 1.0 is almost identical to NITF 2.1, so the two formats are largely interchangeable, and many programs read both.
What are HRU files?
The HRU file format is a bitmap image format associated with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), which is a model developed through the SWAT-CUP program in Microsoft Windows. This software generates a detailed simulation model aimed to assess the result of various land management techniques in the case of large-size watersheds. HRUs represent output files containing detailed information compiled through SWAT, generally under the form of extensive tables with a large number of variables.
