RPBM to FITS Conversion: FAQ

What are RPBM files?

The RPBM format is part of a group of portable bitmap formats known as Netpbm, together with PBM, PGM and PPM. All formats were designed by Jef Poskanzer with the aim of improving the transferability of bitmap files between different computers and applications. RPBM files contain monochrome images and they are less common than PBMs, so opening them with currently available image viewers might pose some difficulties.

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.
