FAQ
VCT to JP2 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 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.
