MRF to WEBP Conversion
What are MRF files?
MRF (Meta Raster Format) is a format for very large images, such as global satellite mosaics, that was developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to serve maps to web browsers quickly. The picture is divided into many small square tiles, and the tiles are stored at several levels of detail, from the whole image at full resolution down to small overviews. A viewer needs to load only the few tiles that are visible, which makes it practical to browse images of enormous size. An MRF dataset is made of three files: a small readable file with the .mrf extension that describes the image, a data file with the tiles, and an index file with the .idx extension that tells where each tile is. NASA uses the format for its Global Imagery Browse Services, and Esri has helped to develop it further.
What are WEBP files?
WebP is an image file format released by Google in 2010 with the aim of challenging the leading positions of JPG and PNG in the domain of storing and transferring digital images. The purpose of the WebP format is to improve the speed of browsing by offering the same quality as JPEG or PNG, but in a smaller size. WebP images can contain both lossy and lossless compression. They continue, however, to be incompatible with some image viewers and browsers, and are often described by analysts as "work in progress" — a format that still needs to be developed.
