Processing of MRI data is usually performed in an array processor using the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) algorithm. These computational requirements generally require the input data to be in a matrix whose dimensions are a power of 2, such as 128x128, 256x256, or 512x512. If the acquired k-space data does not complete this matrix, it is customary to fill in the missing cells with zeroes, a technique called zero padding, zero filling, or zero-interpolation filling(ZIP). 2, record 1, English, - zero%20filling

Les systèmes à barrette de détecteurs [...] sont de conception plus récente que les systèmes à balayage mécanique. Au lieu de s'appuyer sur un seul détecteur comme les précédents, ils utilisent une rangée de plusieurs centaines de détecteurs disposés perpendiculairement au sens de déplacement de la plate-forme et correspondant à une ligne de pixels sur l'image, et donc à une ligne de tachèles sur le terrain. Le déplacement de l'avion ou du satellite assure ainsi un balayage longitudinal de la zone couverte et l'on n'a donc plus besoin de miroir mobile pour assurer cette fonction. 2, record 4, French, - balayage%20longitudinal

In facsimile, the diode sensor array uses a stationary configuration of tiny photodiodes arranged in a matrix that equals in width one lateral scan line of a document. An original is rollerfed from a flatbed tray and passes by the sensor array one line at a time. Light is reflected from each line and focused through a lens onto the face of the photodiode array. Each diode acts as an independent photosensor in converting a small picture element into part of the total electrical signal for a scan line. 1, record 6, English, - photodiode%20sensor%20array%20scanner

Dans certains systèmes ("Pentaconta") il y a presque toujours identité des deux notions, dans d'autres non (CP 400).
