The intensity distribution in the images of uniform bright incoherent disks is obtained in the presence of longitudinal vibrations by using the Fourier Hankel transform method. Results are given in graphical form for disks with various diameter values. It is observed that in certain cases the presence of longitudinal vibrations completely distorts the object. Hence a detailed analysis of image intensity distribution should prove useful to those engaged in interpretation of photographs in aerial reconnaissance work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
