Image électronique d’une carte papier [...]

CONT

Les cartes matricielles sont numérisées au moyen d’un balayage électronique des cartes papier correspondantes. Chaque petit segment de chaque ligne de carte est converti en un élément d’image ou pixel. Ces pixels sont comparables à ceux d’une image de télévision ou à un agrandissement d’une impression d’un journal, et ressemblent à des points sur une grille.
