This technical report describes the basic model of multispectral imaging technology followed by the requirements and the examples of multispectral image formats suitable for colour imaging applications. Four example formats are introduced and compared in typical use cases: JPEG 2000, Spectral Binary File Format, Natural Vision, and multispectral image file format AIX. The specifications of those formats except for JPEG 2000 are provided in the Annex.
