CIB

Controlled Image Base (CIB) is a panchromatic (single colour) imagery format published by NGA to allow the distribution of large areas of tiled imagery. CIB data is structured using the NGA RPF (Raster Product Format - MIL-STD-2411) but the CIB standard defines the individual image format and the compression mechanism. CIB comes in a number of resolutions including CIB-5 and CIB-10, which are the standard 5 metre and 10 metre resolutions. Custom resolutions can be created based on customer demand. CIB is NGA's primary mechanism for distributing satellite imagery for operational uses.
