Les corrections géométriques [...] visent l'amélioration de la qualité des données par une réduction du bruit (de nature spatiale) contenu dans les données, [c'est-à-dire] toute déformation qui peut masquer l'information d'intérêt. Entrent dans cette catégorie toutes les corrections géométriques liées à la géométrie interne du capteur, à la géométrie de visée et aux paramètres d'acquisition qui ne demandent pas d'informations externes au système. [Ces corrections visent] la transformation des données brutes en mesures de positions des objets détectés. [Cette transformation] ne pourra [...] se faire que par l'établissement d'un lien formel avec un référentiel spatial, une carte existante par exemple. C'est une forme d'étalonnage géométrique. 4, record 2, French, - correction%20g%C3%A9om%C3%A9trique

The Image Quality Subsystem(IQS) is part of the RADARSAT-2 Ground Segment. IQS will perform the functions required to establish and monitor the image quality of the system products, and will undertake all the calibration operations as part of this work. The principal analysis tools of the IQS are contained in the Image Quality Workstation(IQW) software, and copies of this software will be at workstations located in Richmond, BC, at the Gatineau data reception facilities, and at the Canadian Space Agency. 3, record 3, English, - image%20quality%20subsystem
