METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DESIGNING AN OPTICAL FILTER

A method for designing an image filter, the method being executed by a machine learning algorithm (MLA), the method comprising: receiving unfiltered images, a desirable visual task and an undesirable visual task; for each unfiltered image, receiving a first label indicative of whether the desirable visual task is accomplishable and a second label indicative of whether the undesirable visual task is accomplishable; filtering the unfiltered image using a virtual filter model representative of the image filter; using the filtered images, training the MLA to perform the desirable visual task and prevent the undesirable visual task to be performed; using test images, determining a first efficiency for the MLA to perform the desirable task and a second efficiency for the MLA to prevent the undesirable task; adjusting a parameter of the virtual filter model based on the first and second efficiencies; and outputting the adjusted parameter.
