OTB to PAL conversion is the process of transforming an image stored in the OTB (Open Tile Bitmap or proprietary .otb raster/tile-based image) format into the PAL image format, which organizes color information as a palette or applies PAL-style indexed color. The conversion re-maps image pixels and color tables so the resulting PAL file preserves visual appearance while using the palette/indexing scheme required by the PAL target format.
