Abstract EN:

Taken indendently, the notions of the measure and the image have received a lot of attention from the philosophical and the scientific point of view. On the contrary, taken together, they have been simply an object of the rare, incomplete, even contradictory study. This situation could have been caused by diverse factors, of which the most important one would be the following : from the beginning, the measure has been considered as an opposite to the image, just like the scientist to artiste, the pure empirical to the great interior. That's where comes the general refusal of the global confrontation. Thanks to the current science, which depends on a certain interfacial region between the measure and the image, one could begin to abandon this simple and unilateral schema. Today, it becomes to be established : although the measurment is generally a scientific work, it also contains a qualitative activity and viceversa ; although the image is an typical object of the subjectivity, it includes a qualitative aspect of the measure. Our study considers some elements which could allow to see an symptote between two apperently different domains ; including the cartography, the morphology, the photography, the computer graphic and the computer simulation.
