JPEG 2000 VM Uncompressed
A single-component test format for JPEG 2000 verification.
PGX is an extremely simple, uncompressed raster format created specifically for the development and testing of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO 15444). It is defined in the JPEG 2000 Verification Model (VM). Its purpose is to store a single component (channel) of an image with potentially high bit depth and signed/unsigned values, without the complexity of a full image container.
A PGX file represents one image channel (grayscale). It starts with a minimalist text header identifying the endianness (`LMS` or `Big`), the sign (`+`/`-`), the bit depth, and dimensions. The raw pixel data follows immediately. It is effectively a raw dump of a single image plane.
Developed by the JPEG committee during the creation of JPEG 2000. It allowed researchers to test wavelet compression algorithms on raw data without worrying about file headers or color transforms.
Portable Gray Map
The standard uncompressed grayscale format.
PGM (Portable Gray Map) is the grayscale member of the Netpbm format family. It sits between PBM (1-bit black and white) and PPM (full color). It is designed to store grayscale images where each pixel has a value ranging from black to white, with typical depths of 8-bit (0-255) or 16-bit (0-65535).
Like other Netpbm formats, PGM has two sub-formats: P2 (ASCII) and P5 (Binary). The header defines the dimensions and the maximum gray value (Maxval). In P2, pixel values are written as plain text numbers separated by spaces. In P5, they are raw bytes. It is strictly a single-channel format.
Created by Jef Poskanzer in the late 80s to handle scanned photos that were better than 1-bit bitmaps but didn't need full color. It became a staple in computer vision research and Unix tools.
