- We collect a LOT of data that we analyze as well as package
- and send to others. Also we receive a lot of radar data (SAR imagery)
- from others to analyze. Generally, we store and send data in "8-8-4"
- format, which is 8 bits of real, 8 bits of imaginary, and 4 bits of
- exponent. We have received radar imagery in every format imaginable:
- two that stick out are complex integer data (unscaled) and data that
- has already been detected and is in 8 bit gray scale (or PIX) format.
- As far as I know, there is no single standard radar format; everyplace
- I know likes to store their I and Q differently.
