The purpose of the system, which produced relatively low-resolution images compared to other spy satellites, was to provide imagery for cartography purposes.
When I made small, relatively low-resolution scans for e-mailing or posting on the Web, there was relatively little difference between the scanners' output.
An E-4 camera was initially planned for relatively low-resolution mapmaking purposes, but it was cancelled with the functionality being taken up by the KH-5 (Argon) satellite.
The Mars Color Imager (MARCI) is a wide-angle, relatively low-resolution camera that views the surface of Mars in five visible and two ultraviolet bands.
The high-resolution versions of the images are encrypted using FlashPix, allowing download and printing only of relatively low-resolution images (1024 pixels along the maximum dimension).
Already, many news organizations occasionally obtain relatively low-resolution pictures from two commercial satellites, and there are proposals for a a higher-clarity satellite for use primarily by television networks and the print media.
It was slow as molasses during a number of operations, even though I was using relatively low-resolution images for testing.
Mr. Hlava would remember that as he zoomed in at that moment, he was looking at the camera's relatively low-resolution LCD display, not through the viewfinder.
One nice thing about watching TV on a plain old analog set is that not much can go wrong with its relatively low-resolution image.
Because a floppy can hold relatively little information, floppy-based Mavicas will always be limited to relatively low-resolution pictures.
