Files with the .ECW extension contain compressed WAV wavelet images for use with geospatial data. The Enhanced Compression Wavelet (ECW) format was developed by Earth Resource Mapping and is currently being maintained by ERDAS.
Aerial and satellite images are commonly stored in the ECW format. Files support from 1 to 8-bit continuous image data on one layer, with up to 255 color layers.
