What is ecw or EBO?

ECW, or Enhanced Compressed Wavelet, is a file format used for compressing geospatial raster data, allowing for efficient storage and quick access to large datasets. EBO, or Enhanced Binary Object, generally refers to a binary file format that can store complex data structures in a compact manner. Both formats are utilized in applications that require efficient handling of large volumes of data, such as in geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing.
