FAQ
ZARR to CG4 Conversion
What are ZARR files?
ZARR is an open format for storing very large multidimensional arrays of numbers, such as satellite image series, climate model output, weather forecasts, and microscope scans. A Zarr data set is cut into small chunks, and each chunk is compressed and saved on its own, so a program can read just the part it needs without loading the whole data set, and many computers can work on different parts at the same time. The format was designed for cloud storage, where data are kept as separate objects, and it is now widely used for analysis-ready geospatial data in the cloud. It is maintained by a community of developers, and an OGC community standard describes its second version.
What are CG4 files?
CG4 is a raster format associated with CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support) — a program initiated by the US Department of Defense to capture and link military data. CG4 is compatible with a very limited number of digital graphics programs. Files with this extension contain a bitmap that often uses the CCITT4 compression, which is an old fax machine standard used for black-and-white images.
