The VICAR (Video Image Communication and Retrieval) file extension is a specialized raster image format developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1966 to manage and process imaging data from unmanned planetary missions. It supports multi-dimensional scientific data, including spectroscopic, hyperspectral, and radar imagery, making it suitable for space exploration, biomedical imaging, and geological studies. The format includes metadata for data integrity and usability, and the software system is now open-source.
The JPEG XL (JXL) file extension, is a next-generation image format developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, combining Google's PIK and Cloudinary's FUIF formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, offering up to 60% better compression efficiency compared to traditional JPEG, while maintaining high image quality. Standardized in 2021, JPEG XL is designed for web delivery, professional photography, and digital printing, supporting ultra-high-resolution images, wide color gamuts, and advanced features like progressive decoding and multiple layers.
