GIS stands for Geographic Information System. This software application allows the user to visualize, interpret and analyze data for relationship, trend and pattern understanding.
The GIS image server adds raster data by defining the raster type to the image definitions. This raster data is stored in the metadata file which is given the extension of IMD. This file defines the storing of pixels in rows and columns, storing pixel values and other type of specific information. The metadata information that is stored in IMD files which is related with the raster datasheet is used to point to different TIF files which are associated with a specific scene.
In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .IMD file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:
A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .IMD file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .IMD file, so download the update and check again.
If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:
It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .IMD extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .IMD file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.
