Convert VICAR to MNG

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 MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) file extension is a specialized format for animated images, originating from the creators of the PNG format. Developed in 1999, MNG supports features like image sequences, transparency, and JPEG data embedding, making it useful for complex animations and graphics interchange. Primarily utilized in web applications and multimedia presentations, it offers efficient compression and high-quality visual representation, catering to the needs of graphics-intensive environments.
