'''VITec image format''', or '''VITec format''', is a raster graphics format associated with the ''VITec ELT'' (Electronic Light Table), an image processing application designed for use with geospatial data.

VITec ELT seems to have been owned by a number of different corporations and subsidiaries over the years, including GDE Systems, VITec Imaging, Tracor, and BAE Systems. It is unclear what relationship it has with [https://www.vitec.com/ VITEC], the current owner of the vitec.com domain name.

== Discussion ==
We have not found any specifications for the format. It supports at least truecolor and grayscale images. It appears to be uncompressed, and Image Alchemy says that it can optionally be tiled.

The Programmer's Guide document in the Links section below mentions the VITec format a number of times, and indicates that the file extension is '''.vitec'''. The description of the ''OpenVITecFile'' function on page 4–7 might give some clues about what sort of information is stored in the file.

Some sources[http://filext.com/file-extension/VIT] call this format '''VITec scanner raster format''', and say it is associated with VITec scanners. Although VITEC does make devices with features that could be called "scanning", we're not convinced that the VITec format really is associated with scanners.
