The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.
The KERNEL file extension, associated with Morphology Kernel Image, stands for "Kernel Image File". It defines structuring elements for morphological operations like erosion, dilation, opening, and closing in image processing. These operations are crucial for tasks such as image segmentation, object detection, and noise removal. Originating in the 1960s with mathematical morphology, the KERNEL file encapsulates the shape and size of the structuring element, influencing the results of these operations.
Drag and drop a FITS file into the upload area to start conversion.
Apply FITS to KERNEL tools on the preview page and finalize with Convert.
Once the KERNEL process is finished, the file will be ready for download.
To change FITS format to KERNEL, upload your FITS file to proceed to the preview page. Use any available tools if you want to edit and manipulate your FITS file. Click on the convert button and wait for the convert to complete. Download the converted KERNEL file afterward.
After setup, the Vertopal CLI tool converts FITS image seamlessly into KERNEL image.
