The RPF is a standard data structure for geospatial databases composed of rectangular arrays of pixel values in compressed or uncompressed form. It is intended to enable application software to use the data in RPF format. The (NITFS) is a collection of related specifications and standards developed to provide a foundation for interoperability in the dissemination of imagery and imagery-related products among different computer systems. To facilitate interoperability among users of RPF data, this standard specifies requirements for the integration of RPF files into NITF for recording on computer-readable media or for dissemination via digital communication lines.
