FAQ
VCT to HRU Conversion
What are VCT files?
VCT is the vector file of IDRISI, a GIS and remote sensing system developed by Clark Labs and later renamed TerrSet. A file of this type holds the shapes of one map layer: points, lines, polygons, or text labels, each with the coordinates of its vertices and a single number that identifies it or gives its value. The descriptive attributes of the objects, such as names or classes, are not inside the file but in separate attribute tables linked by that number. Every VCT file is accompanied by a small documentation file with the .vdc extension, which describes the data, and often by a reference file with the coordinate system. Only one kind of shape is allowed in a file, so a map with roads and buildings needs at least two of them.
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.
