FAQ
RST to JP2 Conversion
What are RST files?
RST is the raster image file of IDRISI, a GIS and remote sensing system developed by Clark Labs at Clark University in the United States and later renamed TerrSet. A file of this type holds a single layer of a map, such as a land cover classification, a soil map, an elevation model, or one band of a satellite image, as a plain grid of values. The meaning of the numbers is not stored in the file itself but in a small text file with the same name and the .rdc extension, which gives the number of columns and rows, the type of the values, the coordinate system, and the range of values. A color table may come in a third file with the .smp extension. Files in this format were originally saved with the .img extension, which was changed to avoid confusion with other formats.
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.
