Does anyone know what exactly this means? Is it just 'cross' or is there another word in this context? Thanks
Examples of use:
"Les photographies aériennes verticales permettent une étude fine du tissu urbain. Elles peuvent éventuellement être croisées avec les données du recensement pour définir des densités de population."
"De nombreux croisements d’informations sont alors possibles."
"La connaissance du risque s'exerce à travers la cartographie des aléas, des enjeux et de leur croisement."
"Enfin, leur capacité à produire des cartes sur lesquelles sont repérés, croisés et quantifiés tous les phénomènes en fait un outil privilégié d'information."

cross-reference
It sounds like it's referring to cross-referencing information here (visual or other)

it is not so much cross-referencing as putting them all together in the melting pot

Roddy Stegemann
: I like the idea of matching. It is statistical neutral, but brings across the idea of combining data with imagery.

Just another option...

Roddy Stegemann
: This is certainly better than cross-referencing, but has a very specific meaning in statistics which is probably to narrow for the context provided.

I apologize for being a little adamant here, but I fear that you are being led down the wrong track. What is at stake is the matching (CMJ_Trans) of census data with aerial photographs in order to providing demographic pictures of an urban landscape. This process will require some sort of statistical analysis using a large variety of statistical correlations (Terry Richards) that will vary depending on the kind of demographic map that the cartographers wish to produce.
As they will be using census data, the number of maps that they can create will be very large. In effect, the number of ways in which the data and the photographs can be brought together is large and for each a different statistical procedure is possible. Thus, your task is to find a word that is sufficiently neutral with respect to all statistical procedures, but still captures the idea of combining (Charlie) data and imagery so as to provide an informative map.

Grammar Correction: The word "providing" in the first paragraph should read "provide

: I agree with "combined" in this context, but I feel that "cross-referenced" means the same in this context.

I have worked with statistics and statistical procedures my whole life and have never heard the term cross-referenced used in this context! Thank you for your support, anyway.
