| Description | VIFF (Visualization Image File Format) is an uncompressed file format for storing 2D and 3D images. It was developed at the Danish Technical University and is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications.
VIFF can store images with up to four channels (red, green, blue, and alpha) and can be used to store images in both grayscale and color modes. The file format is designed to be platform-independent and can be used on any operating system. |
| Technical details | VIFF files consist of a header section and an image data section. The header contains information about the image, such as its dimensions, the number of channels, and the data type used to store the pixel values. The image data section contains the actual pixel data.
VIFF supports several data types for pixel values, including unsigned and signed integers of various sizes, as well as floating-point values. This allows for high precision when working with images in scientific and engineering applications.
VIFF also supports a number of compression algorithms, including Run Length Encoding (RLE) and Huffman encoding, which can be used to reduce the size of VIFF files. |
