Design of correlation filters invariant to degradations characterizable by an optical transfer function

We propose a procedure to design correlation filters which are invariant to any degradation that can be modeled by means of an optical transfer function. The method is based on defining any existing type of filter only in a region R where the transfer function has a constant value. Some computer simulations illustrate the use of the method.
