For an isotropic Poisson line process of intensity , its pair intersections form a locally finite point process. Coincident intersections and parallel pairs have probability zero. Its intensity measure is times area. Indeed the Poisson factorial moment measure and the change of variables from signed distances to intersection location giveThe factor counts unordered line pairs. Shared lines create dependence between intersections; this process is not a Poisson point process.
For , an intersection inside a disk requires at least two lines to meet that disk. The latter count is Poisson with mean , giving the non-strict bound first. It is strict because two lines with nearby normal angles but separated perpendicular distances can both hit the disk while intersecting outside. Choose two positive-measure parameter boxes forcing this configuration; the event of exactly one line in each box and no other disk-hitting line has positive probability. This also yields a void probability too large to equal that of a Poisson point process with the intersection process's intensity measure.
