With a multiresolution format, large raster image files such as aerial photographs or satellite imagery are compressed and can be quickly viewed without having to decompress the entire file. Depending on the zoom level, an image will be represented at different scales. text/html 2019-03-25T11:36:25+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://kb.orbitgt.com/112/technologies/basic_concepts/sio?rev=1553513785 The Spatial Information Object Vector data represents geography as a collection of discrete identifiable units or objects.
