NITF to JP2 Conversion
What are NITF files?
NITF (National Imagery Transmission Format) is a file format developed in the United States for exchanging satellite and aerial imagery in a standard way, and it is also used by NATO under the name NSIF. A file of this type works as a package: it can hold one or several images together with vector graphics, labels, symbols, text, and a large amount of descriptive information about the source of the data, such as the sensor, the time, the accuracy, and the security classification. The format was created for secondary imagery from overhead collection platforms, and it became the common language of military and intelligence imagery, and of commercial satellite data. The current version is described in the Joint BIIF Profile. Files may use the .ntf or .nitf extension.
What are JP2 files?
JP2 or JPEG 2000 is an improved version of JPEG, one of the most popular file formats for storing and transferring images. Compared to the latter, JP2 image files offer higher quality and smaller size images by using a different compression algorithm, which can be either lossy or lossless. JP2s are created using the JPEG2000 Core Coding application, but can also be obtained through conversion from other formats.
