Abstract
A site-specific photographic camouflage arrangement and method for making the same are provided. The site-specific photographic camouflage arrangement includes a digital photographic image and distorting disruptive patterns placed on the digital photographic image to create visual confusion to disguise the recognizable form of a camouflaged object by breaking up its outline.
Claims82
A camouflage pattern comprising:
- a photographic image;
- and
- a disruptive pattern of at least one color configured on the photographic image, the at least one color being selected from a range of colors from at least one of the photographic image or an operating environment in which the camouflage is intended to be used.
A camouflage pattern comprising:
- a base photographic image;
- and
- one or more distorting disruptive patterns including images having different focal lengths configured on the base photographic image.
A camouflage pattern comprising:
- a plurality of disruptive patterns;
- each disruptive pattern including portions of an image having a different focal length than the focal lengths of the images included in the other disruptive patterns;
- and
- the disruptive patterns integrated together to form the camouflage pattern.
A method for creating a camouflage pattern, the method comprising:
- obtaining a photographic image;
- displaying the photographic image;
- and
- adding a disruptive pattern of at least one color to the photographic image, the at least one color being selected from a range of colors from at least one of the photographic image or an operating environment in which the camouflage is intended to be used.
A method for creating a camouflage material for use on a physical item, the method comprising:
- obtaining a photographic image;
- displaying the photographic image;
- adding a disruptive pattern of at least one color to the photographic image, the at least one color being selected from a range of colors from at least one of the photographic image or an operating environment in which the camouflage is intended to be used;
- and
- printing the camouflage pattern image on a substrate.
A method for creating a camouflage pattern, the method comprising:
- obtaining one or more photographic images;
- displaying the one or more photographic images;
- isolating images of one or more areas of the one or more photographic images;
- creating one or more disruptive patterns;
- and
- applying the images of the one or more areas to the one or more disruptive patterns so that the images of the one or more areas in the one or more disruptive patterns have varying focal lengths.
A method for creating a camouflage material for use on a physical item, the method comprising:
- obtaining one or more photographic images;
- displaying the photographic images;
- and
- isolating images of one or more areas of the one or more photographic images;
- creating one or more disruptive patterns;
- applying the images of the one or more areas with different focal lengths to the disruptive patterns to create a camouflage pattern image;
- saving the camouflage pattern image to the computer;
- and
- printing the camouflage pattern image on a substrate.
A method for constructing a camouflage arrangement comprising:
- procuring site-specific photographic images;
- and
- manipulating the site-specific photographic images to produce site-specific camouflage, thereby providing increased concealment to an object.
A site-specific photographic camouflage arrangement comprising:
- a site-specific photographic image;
- and
- one or more disruptive patterns placed on the site-specific photographic image to create visual confusion to disguise the recognizable form of a camouflaged object by breaking up its outline.
