French term

la position approchée

French to English Tech/Engineering Other Optronics
Context:
- le module de mesure comprend un télémètre et un inclinomètre, la détermination de la position approchée du système optronique étant réalisée au moyen de mesures acquises pour trois éléments de référence, lors du pointage desdits éléments de référence par l’imageur numérique.

Editing task on a patent.
Translated as
: approximate position of the optronic system.
Is this correct or could it be "close position"?

TIA Chris.

Discussion

Daryo Jun 7, 2023:
I can't see how "close position" could make sense. Unless there is also some "distant" position calculated elsewhere?

approximate position

https://patents.google.com/patent/EP1493041B1/en

une position approchée Pa est calculée à partir de la position estimée Pe, de la combinaison linéaire de fréquences choisie et d'un jeu de 4p' pseudo-distances (étape 3a).
une position précise Pp est ensuite calculée à partir du point approché Pa, de la même combinaison linéaire de fréquences choisie et du jeu complet de 4p pseudo-distances (étape 3b).
Optionally, calculating a position from an estimated position and a given linear combination can be done in two major steps:
an approximate position Pa is calculated from the estimated position Pe, the linear combination of frequencies chosen and a set of 4p 'pseudo-distances (step 3a).
a precise position Pp is then calculated from the approximate point Pa, the same linear combination of frequencies chosen and the complete set of 4p pseudo-distances (step 3b).
Note from asker:
Looks promising. I`ll be pleased to see what you make of my next question. Meanwhile time to eat. Thanks Chris.

agree SafeTex : Yes. "Close position" would more likely be "Position rapprochée" so this is right as far as I can see
