human optical inspection


Explanation:
Hello,

Yes, "mirage" is a visual/optional inspection, but perhaps I'd translate "manuel" as "human" (opposed automated vision inspection [machine])

mirage (inspection visuelle)
http://www.a3p.org/a3p/userfiles/file/base_documentaire/belg...

http://www.patentgenius.com/patent/7302066.html

can be estimated manually (e.g., through human optical inspection) or through .... Polybiotin compounds of magnetic resonance imaging and drug delivery


I hope this helps.
