The interest of a ground based Slit Aperture Telescope(SAT) which operates with a long thin pupil has been underlined for applications in the field of high angular resolution observations by speckle-interferometric techniques. The SAT lies halfway between the Michelson stellar interferometer and the standard telescope with circular aperture. The authors present the principle of an image processing algorithm which could be used associated with a space-SAT for astronomical image reconstruction. A full coverage of the two dimensional Fourier plane of the astronomical object can be obtained by rotating the SAT around its optical axis. The method of image reconstruction is analogous to those used in computerized tomography and uses Fast Fourier Transform algorithm. The interest of the use of a rotating space-SAT among synthetic apertures is its capability of giving a reconstructed image of the astronomical object simultaneously in several light wavelengths, each colored image being comparable with the others for fruitful astrophysical applications. 3, record 1, English, - slit%20aperture%20telescope

Le télescope à pupille fente fournit des images unidimensionnelles et opère en synthèse d'ouverture. En l'absence de turbulence atmosphérique, l'image focale fournie par un télescope à pupille fente est quasiment une projection unidimensionnelle de l'objet observé. Après une rotation complète autour de son axe optique, on obtient un ensemble de projections de l'objet observé qui n'est autre que la transformée de Radon de l'objet. 1, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9lescope%20%C3%A0%20pupille%20fente

Radar terminology refers to individuals "looks" as groups of signal samples in a SAR processor that splits the full synthetic aperture into several sub-apertures, each representing an independant "look" of the identical scene. The resulting image formed by incoherent summing of these "looks" is characterized by reduced speckle and degraded spatial resolution. 3, record 3, English, - multiple%20looks

La terminologie radar définit les visées individuelles comme des paquets d'échantillons de signal dans un processeur SAR qui divisent l'ouverture synthétique totale en plusieurs sous-ouvertures, chacune représentant une visée individuelle de la même scène. L'image résultante est formée de la somme incohérente de ces visées et se caractérise par un chatoiement réduit et une résolution spatiale dégradée. 3, record 3, French, - vis%C3%A9es%20multiples
