A new method of numerical calculation of MTF is presented here for image motion in one- dimension. The method is applicable in principle to any type of motion and can be expanded to two-dimensional motion. It is applied here to uniform velocity motion and to sinusoidal vibrations. Comparison to known analytical methods is made where possible, and agreement is excellent. This supports its implementation to any kind of random motion, particularly where no unique analytical MTF is possible.
