Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

neutral  Ken Cox: Perhaps 'obscuring' (selectively obscuring unimportant parts of pictures, figures, etc., so they are still visible as through fogged glass)

neutral  San Barto: Petra, in mijn technische tekeningen vertaling ben ik net de term: "Afbakeningslijn (wolk) van een wijziging" tegengekomen, het wordt gevolgd door een afbeelding van een wolk!
