Abstract
A method is proposed to optimize the definition of existing photometri c filters in order to minimize passband-matching problems. It is argue d that the ''improved'' systems should generally yield better astrophy sical parameters than the original ones. Although of a general scope, the method is checked on intermediate-passband filters of the Stromgre n system.
