In addition to preventing element misuse, CSS can help to reduce image misuse. For instance, Web developers sometimes use 1-pixel invisible images to position content. This not only bloats documents, making them slow to download, but can also confuse software agents looking for alternative text(the ALT attribute) for these images. CSS positioning properties mean that invisible images are no longer required to control positioning. 2, record 2, English, - CSS%20positioning%20property

En plus de prévenir une utilisation détournée des balises, les feuilles CSS peuvent aider à réduire la mauvaise utilisation d'images. Par exemple, les développeurs utilisent parfois des images invisibles d'un pixel pour positionner le contenu de leur page. En plus d'alourdir les documents, ce qui ralentit leur téléchargement, cette méthode désoriente également les agents logiciels qui cherchent du texte optionnel (attribut «alt») pour ces images. Grâce aux propriétés de positionnement des feuilles CSS, il n'est plus nécessaire d'utiliser des images invisibles pour définir la position des objets dans la page. 1, record 2, French, - propri%C3%A9t%C3%A9%20de%20positionnement%20des%20feuilles%20CSS

We propose a finite-element method(FEM) deformable breast model that does not require elastic breast data for nonrigid PET/MRI [positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging] breast image registration. The model is applicable only if the stress conditions in the imaged breast are virtually the same in PET and MRI. Under these conditions, the observed intermodality displacements are solely due to the imaging/reconstruction process. Similar stress conditions are assured by use of an MRI breast-antenna replica for breast support during PET, and use of the same positioning. 3, record 4, English, - breast%2Dantenna

The planimetric accuracy of the orthoimages depends on control data, the digital elevation model(DEM), and the methodology used to extract the positions of the control points on the image. The best sources of control data currently available in Canada were used to generate the orthoimages. A number of control sources were used to correct the Landsat 7 images, namely provincial vector data, roads resulting from the global positioning system(GPS), data from the National Topographic Data Base(NTBD), and geometrically corrected aerial photography(orthophotos). The control points extracted from the sources generally represent road intersections and centres of mass of lakes or islands. Different DEMs also served in generating these orthoimages; provincial DEMs and Canadian Digital Elevation Data(CDED) at the 1 : 50 000 and the 1 : 250 000 scales. Planimetric accuracy is obtained by analyzing the parameters of the geometric correction model(SRIT), the accuracy of the source data used to correct the image, and DEM accuracy. 2, record 6, English, - planimetric%20accuracy

La précision planimétrique des ortho-images dépend du contrôle, du modèle numérique d'élévation (MNE) et de la méthodologie utilisée pour extraire la position des points de contrôle dans l'image. Les meilleures sources de contrôle disponibles au Canada à cette époque ont servi à générer les ortho-images. Plusieurs sources de contrôle ont été utilisées pour corriger les images Landsat 7, soit : des données vectorielles provinciales, des routes issues du système de positionnement global (GPS), des données de la Base nationale de données topographiques (BNDT) et des photographies aériennes corrigées géométriquement (ortho-photos). Ces points de contrôle extraits des sources provenaient généralement des intersections de routes et des centres de masse des lacs ou d'îles. Différents MNE ont aussi servi à générer ces ortho-images, soit : des MNE provinciaux, des données numériques d'élévation du Canada (DNEC) au 1/50 000 et des DNEC au 1/250 000. La précision planimétrique est obtenue par l'analyse des paramètres du modèle servant à la correction géométrique (SRIT), de la précision des données sources utilisées pour corriger l'image et de la précision du MNE. 2, record 6, French, - pr%C3%A9cision%20planim%C3%A9trique

Accurate positioning of the aircraft is essential during image acquisition. Accuracy of ± 1 m is achieved using a DGPS. Downelling irradiance is recorded so as to take into account the space-time variations in the solar altitude and the transparency of the atmosphere that occurs during image acquisition. A gyroscopic sensor records the data needed to correct the geometric distortions of the images. These distortions are due to variations in the attitude of the aircraft(essentially the roll). The ground resolution depends on the altitude from which the images are collected. 1, record 9, English, - gyroscopic%20sensor
