IMAGE TAPE [9 records]

Record 1 2024-02-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cinematography
DEF

A photographic record of the variations in current from a microphone or magnetic tape record when converted into modulations in the image of a narrow beam of light focused on one edge of a cine film travelling continuously through a sound recording camera or printer.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cinématographie
DEF

Piste audio mixée que l'on photographie sur pellicule grâce au transfert du son sur un support négatif (report optique).

CONT

Le film impressionné est ensuite développé par les moyens photographiques ordinaires, ce qui permet de faire apparaître sur sa surface des images de teintes ou de formes différentes correspondant aux sons enregistrés. Il s'agit ensuite d'utiliser cette piste sonore photographique développée, fixée et tirée en positif pour obtenir la reproduction sonore.

OBS

La piste sonore est accolée à la bande image en vue de créer la copie film standard.

Subject field(s)
  • Storage Media (Data Processing)
CONT

[The] scheme was to have the exact print image on the tape. For instance, if there [were] 15 blank lines between two printed valid report lines, one would actually write 15 blank lines on the print image tape.

Record 3 2006-02-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

Extended (high) mode[:] 6 Beams, 3% overlap [;] ~500km nadir offset [;] swath width: 75km [;] range resolution (1): 25 m[;] azimuth resolution: 28m [;] looks (2): 4[;] incidence angle (3): 50-60°.

CONT

Extended high incidence beam mode operates outside of the optimum scan angle range of the SAR antenna. Some minor degradation in quality can be expected as compared to images produced using Standard beam mode.... If data is stored on the tape recorder, its image size is expected to be 70 km.

OBS

extended high incidence beam mode: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Engins spatiaux
  • Télédétection
CONT

Mode faisceaux prolongés (haute incidence) [:] 6 faisceaux, recouvrement 3 %[;] décalage : ~500 km du nadir [;] largeur de fauchée : 75 km [;] résolution en portée (1) : 25 m [;] résolution en azimut : 28 m [;] visées (2) : 4 [;] angle d'incidence (2) : 50-60°.

OBS

Les angles d'incidence supérieurs à 49° sont couverts par les faisceaux à haute incidence jusqu'à un angle de 60°. Tout comme le faisceau à faible incidence, une dégradation mineure de l'image peut survenir puisque l'antenne fonctionne hors de ses capacités optimales. La résolution spatiale est la même que pour les faisceaux standards. Ce type de faisceau sera disponible en co-polarisation, en polarisation croisée ou en double-polarisation.

OBS

mode faisceaux prolongés à haute incidence : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Record 4 1997-02-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
DEF

In multimedia development, the electronic equivalent of placing transparent tape over selected regions of an image to prevent those regions from being changed in subsequent operations.

OBS

Term and definition taken from a document presented as a suggested first draft of the new IS 2382 part on Multimedia and Hypermedia.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement de l'information (Informatique)
DEF

Image témoin formée de points mémorisés que l'on cherche à faire coïncider sur écran graphique avec une image à étudier, plus ou moins segmentée pour faciliter son identification.

Record 5 1995-03-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Storage Media (Data Processing)
  • Video Technology
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

Although real motion video is the holy grail of multimedia, it still is impractical using today's technology. The current method for working with video is by capturing and converting the analog signal from a video source and either manipulating the image's data(which is written to video tape) or compressing the data using compression techniques(either software-only compression or a combination of hardware and software compression). To display or capture a single screen of an NTSC signal, you must have a video frame grabber. These are lowest on the rungs of the video ladder, in that they have less capability than boards that capture streaming video. These cards enable you to grab a single frame of video from a Laser Disk or a VCR. Video frame grabbers come in two varieties : single-frame capture and real-time capture. Single-frame capture boards enable you to freeze a selected frame and record it to your hard disk. In this function, single-frame boards are similar to scanners-they provide a means of capturing an image and saving it for use in a multimedia title.

Real-time frame grabbers capture full-motion video at a rate between 15 and 30 frames-per-second using video compression....
