Les capteurs à barrette sont devenus la règle pour tous les détecteurs aéroportés ou satellitaires modernes dans le visible et le proche infrarouge. On les retrouve [notamment] sur le capteur aéroporté canadien MEIS-II. Ces capteurs peuvent utiliser plusieurs barrettes dont chacune vise une bande spectrale particulière. Dans le moyen infrarouge et l'infrarouge thermique, la miniaturisation difficile et la nécessité du contrôle individuel de la température des détecteurs limitent cependant leur utilisation et l'on emploie donc plûtot des capteurs à balayage mécanique dans ces régions spectrales. 2, record 3, French, - capteur%20%C3%A0%20barrettes

Each HRV [High Resolution Visible] contains a pointable mirror apparatus which allows the imaging direction to be varied at user-selected angles. Each HRV imager has two sensing modes. They are known as the Multi-Linear Array (MLA) and the Panchromatic Linear Array (PLA) sensors. The MLA sensor captures data in three spectral bands: 500 - 590 nm, nominal ground resolution of 20 metres at nadir. The PLA sensor captures data in the spectral range 510 - 730 nm at a 10 metre nominal ground resolution at nadir. 1, record 4, English, - panchromatic%20linear%20array%20sensor

Chaque imageur HRV [High Resolution Visible] peut être exploité suivant deux modes, le mode capteur à barrette multibande (MLA) et le mode capteur à barrette panchromatique (PLA). Le capteur MLA permet de recueillir des données dans trois bandes du spectre : 500 à 590 nm, résolution nominale au sol de 20 mètres au nadir. Le capteur PLA permet de recueillir des données dans la plage spectrale de 510 à 730 nm à une résolution nominale au sol de 10 mètres au nadir. Les données sont archivées à raison d'environ 100 000 scènes (60 km x 60 km) par année.

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

A typical LOLA sensor array consists of a centre-field unit and five outlying remote stations, normally in a ring just over 3 kimometers from the centre. The spacing of the units from one another along the ring is governed by a number of siting criteria, which have been refined through operational experience - for example, local wind climatology, terrain, logistical constraints and airport layout. The sensor units may be mounted 6 to 30 meters above ground level, depending on local obstructions. 1, record 10, English, - LOLA%20sensor%20array
