FAQ
PRF to JP2 Conversion
What are PRF files?
PRF is an image format of PHOTOMOD, a photogrammetric software system of the Russian company Racurs that is used to process aerial and satellite photographs and to produce maps and elevation models. The format is also known as MegaTIFF. It was created for very large images, which can exceed 4 GB and cannot be saved in an ordinary image file. The picture is cut into smaller parts that are stored in separate files, and a small overview picture is added so that the whole image can be shown quickly at a small scale. A short .prf file ties all of the parts together and describes the image. A related variant for elevation data uses the .x-dem extension.
What are JP2 files?
JP2 or JPEG 2000 is an improved version of JPEG, one of the most popular file formats for storing and transferring images. Compared to the latter, JP2 image files offer higher quality and smaller size images by using a different compression algorithm, which can be either lossy or lossless. JP2s are created using the JPEG2000 Core Coding application, but can also be obtained through conversion from other formats.
