Camouflage Breaking: A Review of Contemporary Techniques
Camouflage is an attempt to make a target "invisible" by making the target appearance blend into the background. Camouflage related work is typically either in camouflage assessment and design or in camouflage breaking. This paper will discuss two current methods of camouflage breaking. Camouflage breaking is important because of the obvious military tactics, background subtraction, and general...
متن کاملConvexity-Based Camouflage Breaking
This paper presents biological evidence for camouflage breaking using the convexity of the intensity function. Some animals use apatetic coloring especially to prevent their detection by graylevel convexity. This implies that other animals might be able to break camouflage based on graylevel convexity. We demonstrate the effectiveness of convexity based camouflage breaking using an operator (“D...
متن کاملCamouflage and Clutch Survival in Plovers and Terns
Animals achieve camouflage through a variety of mechanisms, of which background matching and disruptive coloration are likely the most common. Although many studies have investigated camouflage mechanisms using artificial stimuli and in lab experiments, less work has addressed camouflage in the wild. Here we examine egg camouflage in clutches laid by ground-nesting Snowy Plovers Charadrius nivo...
متن کامل1 Paper : Motion Camouflage Review
This paper seeks to present and comment upon the ideas and implementations of motion camouflage research. The primary paper reviewed here is the explanation of an experiment (masquerading as a computer game) done on humans in order to establish whether human beings are deceived by motion camouflage. Section 1 will introduce the concepts of camouflage and motion camouflage in particular. Section...
متن کاملCuttlefish dynamic camouflage: responses to substrate choice and integration of multiple visual cues.
Prey camouflage is an evolutionary response to predation pressure. Cephalopods have extensive camouflage capabilities and studying them can offer insight into effective camouflage design. Here, we examine whether cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, show substrate or camouflage pattern preferences. In the first two experiments, cuttlefish were presented with a choice between different artificial subs...
متن کاملEdge enhancement improves disruptive camouflage by emphasising false edges and creating pictorial relief
Disruptive colouration is a visual camouflage composed of false edges and boundaries. Many disruptively camouflaged animals feature enhanced edges; light patches are surrounded by a lighter outline and/or a dark patches are surrounded by a darker outline. This camouflage is particularly common in amphibians, reptiles and lepidopterans. We explored the role that this pattern has in creating effe...
