Abstract
A method of creating a surface coating composition comprising the steps of: creating a mathematical model of a vision system of an animal, measuring a set of spectral characteristics from a surface of a first object, entering the set of spectral characteristics as an input into the mathematical model, using an output of the mathematical model to iteratively create the surface coating composition, wherein the surface coating composition is a metamer to the animal, wherein the surface coating composition can be applied to a surface of a second object for the purpose of making the second object look like the first object to the vision system of the animal.

A method of creating a surface coating composition comprising the steps of:
- creating a mathematical model of a vision system of an animal,
- measuring a set of spectral characteristics from a surface of a first object,
- entering the set of spectral characteristics as an input into the mathematical model,
- using an output of the mathematical model to iteratively create the surface coating composition,
- wherein the surface coating composition is a metamer to the animal, wherein the surface coating composition can be applied to a surface of a second object for the purpose of making the second object look like the first object to the vision system of the animal.
A model of a animal comprising at least one surface which has a surface coating composition which is a metamer of a corresponding surface on the animal as perceived by a vision system of the animal.
A camouflage covering comprising at least one surface which has a surface coating composition which is a metamer of a color from an environment of an animal as perceived by a vision system of the animal.
A method of creating a surface coating composition comprising the steps of:
- creating a mathematical model of a first vision system,
- creating a mathematical model of a second vision system,
- measuring a set of spectral characteristics from a surface of a first object,
- entering the set of spectral characteristics as an input into the mathematical model,
- using an output of the mathematical model to iteratively create the surface coating composition,
- wherein the surface coating composition is formulated so that the surface coating composition is a metamer to both the first and second vision systems.
