Although the scanning mirror rotates at a constant speed, the IFOV [instantaneous field of view] of the sensor moves faster (relative to the ground) and scans a larger area as it moves closer to the edges. This effect results in the compression of image features at points away from the nadir and is called tangential scale distortion. 1, record 2, English, - tangential%20scale%20distortion

Même si le miroir permettant le balayage tourne à une vitesse constante, le CVI [champ de visée instantané] du capteur se déplace plus rapidement par rapport à la surface et capte une région plus grande lorsqu'il se déplace près des bords de l'image. Cet effet produit une compression des caractéristiques de l'image pour les points éloignés du nadir et s’appelle distorsion tangentielle d’échelle. 1, record 2, French, - distorsion%20tangentielle%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9chelle

To facilitate inclusion of atmospheric stability classification in the wake meandering modeling, we fit the Mann spectral tensor model to stable and unstable atmospheric stratification. The Mann model adapts well to the observations in all stability classes, although the model was developed for neutral conditions only. 1, record 5, English, - Mann%20spectral%20tensor%20model

The Mann spectral method combines rapid distortion theory, an assumed linear mean wind shear, the Von Kármán spectral tensor and a model for eddy lifetime, and it is restricted to homogeneous Gaussian turbulence fields. Although the spectral tensor in principle contains the same information as the cross spectra, the tensor formulation leads to considerable simpler and faster simulations of turbulence than the cross spectra based methods. This type of synthetic turbulence field generation will therefore still be used for simulating the ambient turbulence field as well as the large scale turbulence field applied for the description of the meandering process. 2, record 5, English, - Mann%20spectral%20tensor%20model

Touch Pads allow for mouse movement simply by dragging a finger tip across a surface. Beneath this surface are grid-like array of sensors, which detect the skin of a person. Touch Pads use a technology called field distortion sensing, a form of capacitance-sensing technology. When you touch the surface, your fingertip distorts the electrical field at that spot. Tapping on the pad or buttons provide the same function as a mouse click - icon selection. 2, record 7, English, - field%20distortion%20sensing

Approximation [qui] consiste à admettre qu'un système optique centré établit une correspondance homographique entre l'espace objet et l'espace image. Elle se montre valable pour un système dont l'ouverture et le champ sont faibles, c'est à dire qui utilise des rayons lumineux le traversant à des distances faibles de l'axe optique et sous de faibles inclinaisons. Le système centré est alors stigmatique, aplanétique et sans distorsion pour tout l'espace objet.
