English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

The area represented by each pixel of a satellite image.

OBS

The smaller the area represented by a pixel, the more accurate and detailed the image. For example, if a U.S. map and a world map are printed on identically sized sheets of paper, one square inch on the U.S. map will represent far less area and provide for more detail than one square inch on the world map. In this example, the U.S. map has higher resolution.

OBS

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

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection

OBS

résolution de l'image : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).
