While direct access to VICAR files via this API is possible, it is recommended
that the higher-level "codec" from the jpl.mipl.io.codec
package
be used instead. This codec is automatically registered with JAI using the
OperationRegistrySpi
interface. The codec supports tiling and
access to the VICAR metadata.
Information on the mid- and low-level interfaces can be found in the javadoc
for the VicarInput
and VicarOutput
interfaces.
Support files for the PDS and ISIS image formats have been added. These classes are used by the PDS reader and writer. ISIS has a reader only.
