When NITF is Your Standard, ENVI is Your Solution
You can have full NITF support with ENVI, the same software you already use for superior image access, viewing, processing, and analysis.

What is NITF?

The National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) allows the combination of images, graphics, and metadata in a single file to create an invaluable intelligence resource. It is the preferred standard for government data, along with its counterpart NATO Secondary Imagery Format (NSIF).

Highlights of the ENVI Certified NITF Module

  • Read and write all components of the NITF standard (file, image, text, TRE, and DES)
  • File compression: NITF Preferred JPEG 2000 Encoding (NPJE) and Exploitation Preferred JPEG 2000 Encoding (EPJE) for reading, writing, and disseminating compressed data files
  • Display all NITF file components, selective display of individual images, and enhanced NITF metadata display for easier analysis
  • Read and write the government standard for data collected by commercial satellites, NCDRD (NITF Commercial Dataset Requirements Document), and Secondary Image Format (NSIF) files
  • Extensive support for NSDE classified TREs and unclassified TREs, including user-defined TREs
  • Create, edit, and delete PIA TREs
  • Automatic data georeferencing using DIGEST TREs, Rapid Positioning (RPC00A and RPC00B) TREs, and Replacement Sensor Model (RSM) TREs
