This is NOT a joke.


Hi all,

I'm translating a RapidTranslation file into Dutch. I am posting this question in this combination because of the higher number of participants.


It is about a list of items that is part of picture processing software, a "Bildverarbeitungsprogramm".

The list contains the following terms (and a few hundred more):


Beschreibung
Undo
Test
Platzhalter fürs Bild
Laufzeit:
Abbrechen
maximale Lücke
Fliegendreckschwelle
Anzahl:
Gefundene Blobs
Maskierung
rechte untere Ecke
Binarisierung / Regionenbildung
Radius der Kreismarke
Kantenoperator
Filterparameter (Alpha)
Hysterese-Schwelle
Kantenantastung
Kantenglättung
Max Abstand
Gerade und Kontur
Algorithmus
Clipping



Does anyone have an idea what is meant by Fliegendreckschwelle, please? I have no idea.

Tia, best regards

flydirt threshold/limit

I'm familiar with the term Fliegendreck (and Fliegenschiss, for that matter) from fonting. It designates a font site at which a character in a given font isn't legible anymore but looks more like ... Actually, I used a different four-letter-word then dirt when explaining this to a friend.
Peer comment(s):
neutral NGK : I think flyspeck is the customary word here.

Yes, problem is that Fliegendreck isn't exactly a customary word in this context either. But flyspeck will work, no question about that.

flyspeck threshold

I must admit that I don't know what exactly they mean here either. But flyspeck usually refers to tinyness — e.g. a font that is so small as to be unreadable.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Klaus Herrmann : I think the German equivalent for flyspeck is Augenpulver.

despeckle threshold

Being a user of Corel Photopaint myself, I know that this programm has a so-called despeckle filter. Here's the 'Help'-comment from Photopaint:

Jaggy Despeckle filter

The Jaggy Despeckle filter scatters colors in an image creating a soft, blurred effect with minimal distortion. It is most effective for removing the jagged edges that can appear in line art or high-contrast images. The Jaggy Despeckle dialog box has options for controlling height and width values. You can change the values individually or keep them identical. Setting the value independently will mildly diffuse the image with minimum loss of detail.
