'''Meta Raster Format''' is an image and data storage format designed for fast access to imagery within a georeferenced tile pyramid at discrete resolutions. It was originally developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is a composite format, with an image consisting of 3 components:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# MRF metadata file in XML format (file extension: .mrf)&lt;br /&gt;
# MRF data file. This is either a &amp;quot;Pile of PNGs&amp;quot; (file extension: .ppg) or a &amp;quot;Pile of JPEGS&amp;quot; (file extension: pjg). The data file contains blocks of concatenated images in [[PNG]] or [[JPEG]] format.&lt;br /&gt;
# MRF index file (file extension: .idx)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, recent versions of the format are reported to support [https://github.com/Esri/lerc Limited Error Raster Compression] (LERC), which was developed at ESRI. However, the current (January 2015) version of the filespec does not mention LERC yet.&lt;br /&gt;
