Devices with limited RAM (e.g., Arduino, STM32) cannot decode JPEG or PNG. BMAP allows direct memory mapping: byte* pixelData = loadFile("map.bmap"); then read bit k via bitwise operations. No parsing, no decompression.
In remote sensing, land cover is often classified into binary themes: water vs. land, forest vs. non-forest, urban vs. rural. BMAP provides a storage-efficient way to archive such masks for large geographical areas. A 10,000 x 10,000 pixel BMAP occupies only 12.5 MB. Devices with limited RAM (e
Official recognition is granted to the area as a BMAP, often involving collaboration with governments, stakeholders, and the community. In remote sensing, land cover is often classified
A 16x16 BMAP = 256 pixels = 32 bytes of raw data. often involving collaboration with governments
#include <stdint.h> int get_pixel(const uint8_t* bmap_data, int x, int y, int width) int byte_index = (y * width + x) / 8; int bit_offset = 7 - ((y * width + x) % 8); // MSB first return (bmap_data[byte_index] >> bit_offset) & 1;
While pure BMAP is simple, several extensions exist:
