VICAR to HRU Conversion: FAQ

What are VICAR files?

VICAR and VIC (Video Image Communication Retrieval) are two bitmap formats originally created by NASA for storing images captured during space missions. The two extensions were launched in the 1960s and later on they were also used for various other applications, including biomedical imaging, earth resources and geology. Both formats are considered highly specialized and archaic, so opening them using regular image viewers is probably difficult.

What are HRU files?

The HRU file format is a bitmap image format associated with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), which is a model developed through the SWAT-CUP program in Microsoft Windows. This software generates a detailed simulation model aimed to assess the result of various land management techniques in the case of large-size watersheds. HRUs represent output files containing detailed information compiled through SWAT, generally under the form of extensive tables with a large number of variables.
