Abstract
A camouflage system and methods of making camouflage systems. The camouflage comprises a series of image layers that are sequenced and superimposed to create a repeatable composite image that reduces visibility to first set of sensors (e.g., an animal's eyes) while enhancing visibility to a second set of sensors (e.g., a human's eyes). The camouflage includes a base set of layers that may be used to mimic a macro-environment, a pattern layer, and a detail set of layers that may be used to mimic a microenvironment. The camouflage may be presented in various color schemes, with one suitable scheme being a range of colors centered around safety orange (Pantone 152) and a range of colors from grey to black.
Claims15
A camouflage system, comprising:
- a base layer set, said base layer set comprising:
- at least one unfocused background image layer;
- and
- at least one semi-focused image layer;
- a geometric pattern layer over said base layer set, said geometric pattern layer comprising a continuous pattern of polygonal shapes;
- and
- a detail layer set over said geometric pattern layer, said detail layer set comprising a high-definition image layer,
- wherein said base layer set, said geometric pattern layer, and said detail layer set each comprise images comprising orange colors and colors from grey to black, such that said camouflage system is substantially invisible to dichromats and substantially visible to trichromats.
A garment, comprising:
- a base material comprising a camouflage system, said camouflage system comprising:
- a base layer set, said base layer set comprising:
- at least one unfocused background image layer;
- and
- at least one semi-focused image layer;
- a geometric pattern layer over said base layer set, said geometric pattern layer comprising a continuous pattern of polygonal shapes;
- and
- a detail layer set over said geometric pattern layer, said detail layer set comprising a high-definition image layer,
- wherein said base layer set, said geometric pattern layer, and said detail layer set each comprise images comprising orange colors and colors from grey to black, such that said camouflage system is substantially invisible to dichromats and substantially visible to trichromats.
A method of camouflaging an object, comprising:
- providing a base layer set, comprising:
- at least one unfocused background image layer;
- and
- at least one semi-focused image layer;
- providing a geometric pattern layer over said base layer set, said geometric pattern layer comprising a continuous pattern of polygonal shapes;
- and
- providing a detail layer set over said geometric pattern layer, said detail layer set comprising a high-definition image layer,
- wherein said base layer set, said geometric pattern layer, and said detail layer set each comprise images comprising orange colors and colors from grey to black, such that said camouflage system is substantially invisible to dichromats and substantially visible to trichromats.
