Abstract
We show that by using an iterative, digital restoration algorithm (Wiener or Kalman), it is possible to improve substantially the defocused optical transfer function of a previously apodized optical system. Consequently, high focal depth can be achieved by the use of an apodizer at the recording step, and a posteriori step of digital restoration. Computer-simulated images exhibit the focal depth achieved.
