| Description | The HRZ file format is a binary format used for storing astronomical images. It was developed by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and is commonly used in the field of astronomy. |
| Technical details | HRZ files store two-dimensional images in a compressed format, typically containing a single color channel. The format supports 8-bit and 16-bit integer data, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point data.
The file format is designed to be platform-independent, and supports both big-endian and little-endian byte ordering. HRZ files can contain header information that describes the image size, data type, and other relevant parameters.
The HRZ format is used by a variety of astronomical software packages, including IRAF, MIDAS, and SExtractor. It is also supported by some image processing and analysis software tools, such as ImageJ and MATLAB. |
