A Review for Camouflage Pattern Designing, Evaluating and Breaking Methods

Applied camouflage technique in order preventing of sight are used by animals and humans for centuries. In military application camouflage techniques are used for hiding armies and equipment against enemies detection. In the past designing camouflage pattern was done by painting artists which was so costly and time-consuming. However todays by promotion in machine vision techniques such as image processing, designing suitable camouflage pattern can be done by using it. Some of image processing methods which are used in camouflage subjects are image enhancement filters, edge detection filters, mathematical morphology, using k-means clustering as well as the use of fractal dimension. In this paper the studies related to designing, evaluation and detection of camouflage pattern are mentioned and reviewed.
