Accurate Spectral Analysis of Two-Dimensional Point Sets

Abstract

We investigate accuracy issues regarding the spectral analysis of two-dimensional point sets. We demonstrate the sensitivity of amplitude/power spectrum and radial statistics to the type of Fourier transform and formulate recommendations for crucial analysis and formatting parameters. The goal of these recommendations is to facilitate the comparison of different point-set generation methods with respect to their spectral characteristics.
