Science - Other / Data treatment (aerogeophysical surveying)
Finnish term or phrase: tasokorjattu
For example: "Mittaustuloksia ei ole tasokorjattu" (http://arkisto.gtk.fi/m19/4322/m19_4322_2009_79.pdf)
It seems to mean statistical treatment of data to bring it all to the same "level": I think "equalized" is the correct term (i.e to equalize the data).
Can anyone confirm or correct this?

equalized
Explanation:
I believe you are correct. Looking at Google hits of the term, the non-technical hits definitely mean "equalized" e.g. equalizing social security payments. If you compare the two web references below, you can also find parallel usage of tasokorjattu and equalized in the context of photographic distortion compensation.
