FITS to GLTF Conversion
What are FITS files?
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
What are GLTF files?
glTF or GL Transmission Format is a vector extension developed by the non-profit consortium Khronos with the aim of improving interoperability between various types of software specialized in creating and accessing 3D content. The extension is compatible with several application programming interfaces (APIs) that offer 2D and 3D vector graphics rendering, including WebGL, OpenGL ES and OpenGL.
