Visibility Probabilties and Moments of Measures of Visibility on Curves in the Plane for Poisson Shadowing Processes.

Abstract

The present study generalizes the methodology developed in (10) to determine visibility probabilities of points in the plane, when shadows are cast by a Poisson field of random objects (disks), given a source of light in the origin. Furthermore, a technique is developed for the determination of the moments of a visibility measure on star-shaped curves in the plane. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the method in some special case.
