FAQ
PRF to MTV Conversion
What are PRF files?
PRF is an image format of PHOTOMOD, a photogrammetric software system of the Russian company Racurs that is used to process aerial and satellite photographs and to produce maps and elevation models. The format is also known as MegaTIFF. It was created for very large images, which can exceed 4 GB and cannot be saved in an ordinary image file. The picture is cut into smaller parts that are stored in separate files, and a small overview picture is added so that the whole image can be shown quickly at a small scale. A short .prf file ties all of the parts together and describes the image. A related variant for elevation data uses the .x-dem extension.
What are MTV files?
The MTV extension is associated with the MTV Ray Tracer, a piece of software created by Mark VandeWettering and currently discontinued. The software's ray tracing abilities allow it to display 3-D images in 2-D by tracing a path of light through pixels on an image surface. The MTV format uses a simple algorithm and design, and continues to be used for designing computer games and animations or in television and film production.
