Tech/Engineering - Other / Optronics
French term or phrase: la position approchée
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.

approximate position
Explanation:
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).

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