English term

three-point correction

English to French Tech/Engineering Physics Optics
Hi everyone,

I am still translating this image correction control software manual and this time I have a problem with "three-point correction".

Here is the whole paragraph: "For example a three point correction would typically use a mid grey correction image, obtained by either halving the X-ray dose used to obtain the white reference, or halving the acquisition time."

I obviously thought of "correction à trois points", which does not seem to be very popular on Google.. Can't find any translation of this term.. Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Continued This paragraph, "Three point corrections are generally sufficient for amorphous silicon flat panels, while a five point correction may be used to obtain the best results from a linear detector array.", makes me wonder even more if it is actually a technical term, so in the end this "à trois points" or "à cinq points" might work.. Could someone please confirm?

correction 3-points

Il s'agit d'une méthode mathématique de correction "par wavelettes" d'un signal (voir lien).
Il n'existe généralement pas de traduction FR normalisée pour ce type d'expression.
Je m'en tiendrais donc à un certain pragmatisme et traduirais tout simplement par "méthode (de correction) 3-points".
Something went wrong...
