포토 시뮬레이션을 통한 위장성 평가

Camouflage in animals means to hide or conceal their bodies to protect themselves from predators. Camouflage pattern in military uniforms can be understood in the same context. Camouflage patterns are one of the most important parts of the military needs for protecting their soldiers. Recently, developing effective camouflage patterns which are able to deal with various and some different environments becomes an issue. Since there are some differences of camouflage ability in response to changes of environment, we need empirical data about assessing camouflage ability as well as consideration on colors and patterns of military uniforms. Thus, in this study, we designed the visual search experiment for camouflage assessment using previous photo-simulation method and tested camouflage abilities of developed-concept patterns. These assessment process and results could be steadily considered to design process for better camouflage pattern.
