SITIM Format

The SITIM (Image Processing System) is a program, developed by INPE, used for information extraction from remote sensing data, obtained mainly from satellites.

The digital image in the SITIM format is represented by a matrix with N rows and M columns, each point assumes a value in the [0, k-1] interval. It is normal that M, N and K are powers of 2. To the I(M,N) image value in the (M,N) point is given the name of gray level.

Each image in the disk is formed by several bands stored in individual files and by a descriptive file, where each register corresponds to a band. Each image is recognized by a name. This name is the name of the descriptor file, to each the extension *.d is added. The image file names is formed by the image name, with the extension "_band name.i" added.


      ex: 	image name		  	são_josé
      	descriptor file name	 	são_josé.d
      	n band file name			são_josé_n.i

The descriptor file presents the initial columns number (x1) and final (x2), the initial row number (y1) and final (y2) and the horizontal and the vertical image resolution.
