PBM to FITS Conversion: FAQ

What are PBM files?

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file format is part of the Netpbm pack, together with two other formats: PPM (Portable Pixelmap) and PGM (Portable Graymap). The three formats are sometimes referred to under the collective name PNM (Portable Anymap) and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion processes supported by Portable Bitmap Utilities — a collection of open source software. The PBM format is associated with monochrome bitmaps, while PGM contains gray-scale bitmaps and PPM color bitmaps.

What are FITS files?

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
