Pseudo-color enhancement can be regarded as the process of coloring gray-scale images, that is, giving different colors to regions with different gray-scale values in the original gray-scale image to distinguish them more clearly. The input of pseudo-color enhancement is a gray-scale image, and the output is a color image. 2, record 1, English, - pseudo%2Dcolour%20enhancement

La représentation d’une image en pseudo-couleurs est un processus un peu particulier qui ne concerne qu'une seule bande spectrale d’une image. Plutôt que de visualiser l'image en niveaux de gris, on attribue une couleur à chaque compte numérique. Cela permet de faciliter l'interprétation de l'image, l'œil humain ne permettant d’identifier de manière efficace qu'un nombre restreint de niveaux de gris. 2, record 1, French, - affichage%20en%20pseudo%2Dcouleurs

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The different sources of this noise could be due to periodic drift or malfunction of the detector, or due to electronic interference among sensor components, or due to problem in the transmission and recording process. The noise, if present in any part of the image can either degrade or totally mask the true radiometric information contained by the digital image. Hence, noise removal is very essential before any preprocessing or analysis of the image could be done. 2, record 3, English, - image%20noise

[...] Le chatoiement est essentiellement une sorte de bruit qui dégrade la qualité de l'image et peut rendre l'interprétation(visuelle ou numérique) plus difficile. Ainsi, il est généralement préférable de réduire le chatoiement avant l'interprétation et l'analyse des images. Deux techniques permettent de réduire le chatoiement : le traitement multi-visée [et] le filtrage spatial. 2, record 3, French, - bruit%20image
