title: Degradation of an image due to Gaussian motion.
abstract: Degradation of an image due to its random motion is considered. Equations describing the effects of Gaussian random motion on the point-spread function, Strehl ratio, and encircled energy are given in terms of the degraded optical transfer function. These equations are used to obtain numerical results for several typical cases of motion of diffraction-limited images formed by imaging systems with obscured circular pupils.
