Camouflage: Being Invisible in the Open Ocean
نویسنده
چکیده
Animals inhabiting the open ocean often conceal themselves by being highly transparent, but this transparency is compromised by light that is scattered and reflected from the body surface. New research shows that some midwater crustaceans use antireflection coatings to enhance their invisibility.

Security Protection of Software Programs by Information Sharing and Authentication Techniques Using Invisible ASCII Control Code
A new method for software program protection by information sharing and authentication techniques using invisible ASCII control codes is proposed. A scheme for sharing a secret source program written in Visual C++ among a group of participants, each holding a camouflage program to hide a share, is first proposed for safe keeping of the secret program. Only when all the shares hidden in the camo...
متن کاملResponse to Comment on "Open-ocean fish reveal an omnidirectional solution to camouflage in polarized environments".
Cronin et al take issue with our evidence for polarocryptic carangid fish based on concerns of pseudoreplication, our contrast metric, and habitat. We clarify (i) the importance of camouflage in near-surface open ocean environments and (ii) the use of a Stokes contrast metric and further (iii) conduct individual-based statistics on our data set to confirm the reported polarocrypsis patterns.
متن کاملPolaro-cryptic mirror of the lookdown as a biological model for open ocean camouflage.
With no object to hide behind in 3D space, the open ocean represents a challenging environment for camouflage. Conventional strategies for reflective crypsis (e.g., standard mirror) are effective against axially symmetric radiance fields associated with high solar altitudes, yet ineffective against asymmetric polarized radiance fields associated with low solar inclinations. Here we identify a b...
متن کاملCamouflage 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...
