Beyond RGB: Spectral JPEG XL Revolutionizes High-Fidelity Light Imaging

In the evolving landscape of digital imaging, traditional formats have primarily focused on capturing and storing visible light using three main color channels: red, green, and blue (RGB). While this method suffices for everyday photography, scientific and industrial applications require a far more detailed approach. Spectral imaging, which captures data beyond the visible spectrum, including ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) wavelengths, is crucial in areas such as astronomy, medical imaging, environmental monitoring, and material analysis. However, the sheer volume of data generated by spectral imaging has long posed challenges for storage and processing. Now, a groundbreaking compression format called Spectral … Read more
