Résumé

The techniques of weather satellites images reception has quickly evolved in the last decade. At the beginning, the operation of building a reception station required considerable means, and only specialized institutions had access to these techniques. Nowadays, because of the recent development of micro-computers and signal processing, it is now possible for even a small institution to have its own station able to receive net images from certain meteorological satellites such as NOAA and METEOSAT satellites with affordable costs. A reception station for certain meteorological satellites has been mounted and operated in our laboratory. A description of this station and of the set of software necessary for the reception and the processing of the APT images is given. Indications of the use of some software as well as their application for processing a sample of the received images are presented. We point out that the station allows image processing in real time
