TruEarth® 1km Satellite Imagery
Filename Convention

 

 

TruEarth® 1km IMAGE FILENAME CONVENTION.
All TruEarth® 1km imagery is delivered in the Targa image file format (.TGA). Depending upon the level of detail, the image may be cut up into several image tiles, each of which joins seamlessly with with its neighboring image tiles. To fully define the type of TruEarth® 1km image contained within a file, the image filename is created based on several attributes of the image. The
standard TruEarth® 1km filename format is PPVVRRTT.TGA, where,

PP = Product description
VV = Version number
RR = Resolution ID
TT = Image tile number

Each field of the image filename is determined as follows:
