Fading and speckle are the inherent "noise-like" processes which degrade the quality of an image. ... Reflecting surfaces are rarely uniform. For example, even a homogeneous forest has variations in the shape, height and variation of its canopy. These small differences cause local tonal variations which are known as speckle. ... Thus, speckle is essentially an image texture arising from the system, and not from the scene. 2, record 4, English, - speckle

L'interface : forme de la communication. Le module interface traduit la représentation interne du système dans un langage compréhensible pour l'élève. [...] L'interface joue un grand rôle dans le succès de la communication du savoir, et ne doit pas être négligée, et ce pour 2 raisons principales : 1) l'interface permet de rendre la présentation plus ou moins compréhensible, et la créativité de cette interface peut être un élément crucial dans l'adaptation de l'élève au système, 2) les progrès technologiques des médias permettent de plus en plus l'utilisation d'outils sophistiqués dont le pouvoir de communication peut conduire le design du système tout entier. La compréhension d'un texte est déjà une tâche complexe, or les systèmes actuels ne sont pas encore en mesure de manipuler le langage naturel -> dans cette limite, la flexibilité varie en fonction de la granularité du savoir auquel chaque partie se rapporte. 3, record 5, French, - granularit%C3%A9%20du%20savoir
