Abstract
A camouflage covering which has a surface coating composition which is a metamer of a natural object from an environment of an animal, such as plant life or soil, as perceived by the vision system of the animal, which is created by completing the steps of creating a mathematical model of the vision system of the animal, measuring a set of spectral characteristics from the natural object, entering the set of spectral characteristics as an input into the mathematical model, and using an output of the mathematical model to iteratively create the surface coating composition.
Claims2
A camouflage covering comprising at least one surface with has a surface coating composition which is a metamer of a natural object from an environment of an animal as perceived by the vision system of the animal, wherein the surface coating composition is not a spectral match for the natural object, and wherein the surface coating composition is created by a process comprising the steps of creating a mathematical model of the vision system of the animal;
- measuring a set of spectral characteristics from the natural object;
- entering the set of spectral characteristics as an input into the mathematical model;
- and using an output of the mathematical model to iteratively create the surface coating composition.
