The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
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.
