Abstract
So far little attention has been paid to file format robustness, i.e., a file formats capability for keeping its information as safe as possible in spite of data corruption. The paper on hand reports on the first comprehensive research on this topic. The research work is based on a study on the status quo of file format robustness for various file formats from the image domain. A controlled test corpus was built which comprises files with different format characteristics. The files are the basis for data corruption experiments which are reported on and discussed.
