Camouflaged structure and method of camouflaging a structure against a background having a generally uniform composition

A camouflaged structure located between a generally uniform background and a foreground containing visible light and a vantage point and having a generally uniform composition comprising characteristic wavelengths of visible light, comprising:

• a) a member having an exterior surface;
• b) a reflector having a reflective surface, said reflector attached to the structure and located between said member and said vantage point, said reflective surface positioned so that at least a portion of the visible light contained in the foreground is reflected to the vantage point;
• and
• c) a filter located between the vantage point and said reflective surface, said filter for filtering at least one wavelength of visible light that is different from the characteristic wavelengths of visible light.

A camouflaged structure located between a generally uniform background and a foreground containing visible light and a vantage point comprising:

• a) a member including an exterior surface having a camouflaged region;
• and
• b) a camouflaging member comprising:
• i) a light capturing feature spaced from said camouflaged region said light capturing feature for capturing light from at least one of the generally uniform background and the foreground,
• ii) a light emitting feature located proximal to said camouflaged region, said light emitting features for emitting light captured by said light capturing feature toward the vantage point without forming an image, and
• iii) a light conductor extending between said light capturing feature and said light emitting feature, said light conductor for conducting light captured by said light capturing feature to said light emitting feature.

A camouflaged structure located between a background containing a first color and a second color simultaneously or at different times and a foreground containing visible light and a vantage point, the background, comprising:

• a) a first member having a surface visible from the vantage point;
• b) a pattern of colors applied to said surface, said pattern comprising:
• i) a first region containing a third color substantially the same as the first color;
• ii) a second region containing a fourth color substantially the same as the second color;
• and
• iii) a third region containing said third color and said fourth color combined to form a color gradient such that there is a gradual transition from said third color in said first region to said fourth color in said second region,
• c) a second member having a first exterior surface;
• d) a reflector having a reflective surface, said reflector attached to the structure and located adjacent said first exterior surface and between said first exterior surface and said vantage point, said reflective surface positioned so that at least a portion of the visible light contained in the foreground is reflected to the vantage point;
• e) a third member including a second exterior surface having a camouflaged region;
• and
• f) a camouflaging member attached to the camouflaged structure, comprising:
• i) a light capturing feature spaced from said camouflaged region, said light capturing feature for capturing light from at least one of the generally uniform background and the foreground,
• ii) a light emitting feature located proximal to said camouflaged region, said light emitting features for emitting light captured by said light capturing feature toward the vantage point without forming an image, and
• iii) a light conductor extending between said light capturing feature and said light emitting feature, said light conductor for conducting light captured by said light capturing feature to said light emitting feature.
