Frequency multiplexed DOG filter

In order to improve optical correlation performance, a multiplexed DOG (MDOG) filter is constructed from two Difference of Gaussian (DOG) filters, one DOG filter is tuned for noise robustness and the other for accurate object localization. The filter's performance is compared with the CMF, POF and single DOG filter.
