Open RRD File
Files with the RRD extension mainly belong to ERDAS IMAGINE software from Hexagon AB.
ERDAS Imagine is a software that is used to work with satellite image and aerial photographs.
This tool is developed by the Hexagon company and has very powerful capabilities for processing, analyzing and interpreting raster information, as well as working with vector data.
The RRD extension file is a type of GIS file generated by the ERDAS application and readable with ArcGIS as well.
The RRD file stores a reduced dataset of the actual raster image file for fast analysis purposes, which is why the RRD acronym stands for Reduced Resolution Dataset.
Using the RRD file the user can speed up the rendering of raster maps.
RRD files are directly related to GeoTIFF TIF or JPEG 2000 files whose extension is JP2.
The user can save various scales of the maps in the RRD files.
