Le balayage est conique lorsque les directions d'observation au cours d'un balayage sont situées sur un cône. On obtient un balayage conique quand l'axe du miroir est vertical dans l'avion ou le satellite et qu'il est en plus perpendiculaire à l'axe optique du détecteur. [Le principal avantage de ce système de balayage] est que la distance entre le capteur et le terrain reste constante, [d'où les] dimensions constantes de la tache élémentaire au sol. Par contre, il génère des images à géométrie particulière parce que les systèmes de restitution et de traitement des images sont en général conçus pour les images obtenues par balayage linéaire. 3, record 1, French, - balayage%20conique
