2057 Band Interleaved By Pixel (BIP) Image Encoding GIS Band interleaved by pixel is an ASCII description file that stores the pixel values of an image in a file. It is commonly used in geospatial software. The file stores the data for each pixel band by band. To be interpreted the file requires a header file. Other optional information files that can appear alongside these are colour and statistic files. 234 National Library of Australia / National Library of Australia 18 Jan 2020 16 Oct 2021 fmt/1239 PUID bip File extension
