Abstract
We present an intensity speckle simulation algorithm based on stochastic differential equations. Intensity speckles are generated with a negative exponential distribution and an exponential auto-correlation decay. The mean of the distribution is spatially varying dictated by photon diffusion to take into account of diffuse speckles. The algorithm is validated using simulation studies for both surface and deep tissue blood flow with potential applications in diffuse correlation spectroscopy.
