GREEN MOVEMENT [8 records]

Record 1 2024-02-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Various Proper Names
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Mental health and hygiene
OBS

[The] model goes from healthy adaptive coping(green), through mild and reversible distress or functional impairment(yellow), to more severe, persistent injury or impairment(orange), to clinical illnesses and disorders requiring more concentrated medical care(red). The arrows under the four color blocks denote [that] movement in both directions is possible, thus indicating that there is always the possibility for a return to full health and functioning.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appellations diverses
  • Psychologie clinique
  • Hygiène et santé mentales
OBS

Le modèle comprend diverses étapes : santé, adaptation (vert), détresse ou incapacités fonctionnelles légères et réversibles (jaune), traumatismes ou incapacités plus graves qui persistent (orange), maladies cliniques et troubles nécessitant des soins médicaux plus intensifs (rouge). La flèche située sous les quatre blocs de couleur marque le continuum, le mouvement dans les deux sens, indiquant la possibilité de retrouver pleinement la santé et de fonctionner normalement.

Record 4 2017-05-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A remote-sensing term referring to the process of assigning different colours to different spectral bands.

CONT

The image processing consisted in generating intensity images and one coherence image. To facilitate their analysis and interpretation, a coloured composition has been created with the results. This composition is obtained by adding the coherence image in red, the average of both images phase intensities in green and the difference between these phase intensities in blue. As such, a high coherence level(value close to 1) appears in red and indicates a very good phase correlation between the two images, a consequence of the various mechanisms of radar signal scattering and of the lack of change which could affect the target. On the contrary, a weak coherence level(value tending to 0) appears in black and indicates a movement in these zones during the 24 hours interval which separated the two image shots. Lastly, the white spots correspond to areas with a strong radar signal backscattering i. e. with zones of hills or vegetation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
CONT

Dans les systèmes de télédétection, nous avons vu qu'il est possible de détecter et d'enregistrer des parties du spectre électromagnétique qui ne sont pas décelables à l'oeil nu, comme l'infrarouge par exemple. Pour pouvoir visualiser cette information, on associe aux bandes spectrales du système d'observation des couleurs d'affichage (rouge-vert-bleu), qui ne leur correspondent pas nécessairement. Ce faisant, on crée des compositions colorées [...]
