Record 1 2014-12-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tactical Operations (Air Forces)
  • Operations (Air Forces)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
  • Aircraft Maneuvers
DEF

The angle between the longitudinal axis of the target, projected rearward, and the line of sight to the interceptor measured from the tail of the target.

OBS

An aspect angle is also measured in direction right or left of the target's flight path.

OBS

aspect angle: term and definition officially approved by the Defence Terminology Standardization Board.

  • Manœuvres d'aéronefs
DEF

Angle formé par l'axe longitudinal de la cible, projeté vers l'arrière, et la ligne de visée jusqu'à l'intercepteur, et mesuré à partir de l'arrière de la cible.

OBS

Un angle de relèvement constant est indiqué de la droite ou de la gauche selon la trajectoire de vol de la cible.

OBS

angle de relèvement constant : terme et définition uniformisés par le Conseil de normalisation de terminologie de la défense.

Record 2 2007-08-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

"Path Image" products are recommended for individuals and organisations experienced in image processing. The "Path Image" product is aligned parallel to the satellite’s orbit path. Latitude and longitude positional information has been added to represent the first, mid, and last pixel positions of each line of data. Data from all beam modes can be processed to this product.

OBS

The difference between "Path Image" and "Path Image Plus" processing lies in the procedure used to calibrate the data. "Path Image Plus" uses a smaller pixel spacing to retain full RADARSAT beam mode resolution which will enhance your ability to measure point targets. However, it will create a digital file which is considerably larger than a "Path Image" product.

OBS

"Path Image" and "Path Image Plus" for Standard and Fine beam modes. "Path Image" for ScanSAR Wide and Narrow beam modes.

OBS

"Path Image" product: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
OBS

Les produits RADARSAT sont disponibles en archive ou sur programmation à différents niveaux de traitement dont le niveau «Path Image». Caractéristiques : image d'amplitude corrigée radiométriquement, habituellement 4 vues, sauf pour ScanSar Narrow qui est de 2 vues. Traitements : analyses quantitatives, photo-interprétation et traitement d'images. Séries multitemporelles.

OBS

produit «Path Image» : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Record 3 2006-10-26

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
OBS

"Path Image Plus" uses smaller pixel spacing than "Path Image" to retain full RADARSAT beam mode resolution. This will enhance your ability to make detailed analyses of point targets(e. g., ships, isolated buildings), linear features(e. g., pipelines, drainage networks), or to obtain subsequent spatial information if required. However, it will create a digital file that is considerably larger than a "Path Image" product. Data from all beam modes, with the exception of ScanSAR, can be processed to this product.

Record 4 2002-03-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Operations (Air Forces)
DEF

In air interception, a point in space relative to a target's flight path toward which an interceptor is vectored and from which the final or a preliminary turn to attack heading is made.

OBS

offset point: term and definition standardized by NATO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Opérations (Forces aériennes)
DEF

En interception aérienne, point de l'espace, calculé sur la trajectoire d'un objectif, et vers lequel un intercepteur est dirigé en vue de la phase d'attaque finale.

OBS
