Abstract

This paper provides new insights into the formation of one-dimensional (line-scan) image autocorrelation functions. We model a line scan as a composition of individual object-images that have random positions, widths and intensities and that occlude one another. We derive the autocorrelation function of this model as a function of object-image width and intensity distributions. We show that any assumption regarding the form of the autocorrelation function places a constraint on object-image width and intensity distributions and we derive the object-image width distribution associated with the widely used symmetric-exponential autocovariance model
