An endeavour to reverse-engineer the file format of D-Sat 1. |
D-Sat was a series of CD/DVD-ROMs from the 1990s which contained aerial and satellite imagery of Germany.1 The data was stored in a proprietary file format and thus can only be used with the original Windows programs. Since this is not sustainable, this project seeks to reverse-engineer the file format and develop tools to access the contained data (coordinates, images, etc.).
The first post on decoding the city database is a good starting point for further reading.
