Abstract Using properties of shift- and rotation-invariance probability density distributions are derived for random straight lines in normal representation. It is found that in two-dimensional space the distribution of normal coordinates (r, phi) is uniform: p(r, phi) = c, where c is a normalisation constant. In three dimensions the distribution is given by: p (r, phi, thèta, ksi) = cr sin thèta.
