Record 1 2007-02-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

The ratio of maximum measurable signal to minimum detectable signal.

CONT

[The] dynamic range [is] the range of radiances over which instruments and sensors are sensitive. The upper end of the dynamic range is the saturation radiance. The lower end is the noise floor, i.e., the radiance corresponding to the low radiance noise level of the instrument. These radiances may be expressed as equivalent blackbody temperatures for thermal bands.

OBS

dynamic range: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
CONT

La gamme dynamique correspond au rapport du signal mesurable maximal sur le signal mesurable minimal. La limite supérieure fait habituellement référence à l'intensité de saturation et la limite inférieure au bruit.

OBS

gamme dynamique : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Record 2 2005-07-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
  • Inks and Colour Reproduction (Graphic Arts)
DEF

A measure of the total range of tones in an image, from lightest to darkest.

OBS

The greater the dynamic range of an image, the more visible detail it has in hilights and shadows. A scan with a wide dynamic range will reveal a wide range of tones and show visible detail in even the darkest shadows.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Infographie
  • Encres et couleurs (Industrie graphique)
DEF

Gamme exhaustive des tons, des rehauts les plus clairs aux ombres les plus foncées.

Record 3 2003-02-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audio Technology
DEF

The range of signal amplitudes from the loudest to the quietest that can be reproduced effectively by an equipment.

OBS

Limited by the intrinsic noise of the amplifier and the ambient background noise level of the listening environment and by the power capacity of the amplifier and speaker system.

OBS

dynamic range: term standardized by thethe International Electrotechnical Commission and the USA Standards Institute.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électroacoustique
DEF

Intervalle compris entre les niveaux extrêmes d'intensité acoustique c'est-à-dire des plus forts (fortissimi) aux plus faibles (pianissimi).

OBS

dynamique : terme normalisé par l'AFNOR.
