Abstract

 Camouflage pattern design, an essential part of camouflage design, is a topic of interest to researchers worldwide. However, in Vietnam, it is still relatively primitive and rarely studied and published. This paper presents a method of calculating and designing camouflage patterns that blend with natural backgrounds. Based on the principles of human eye vision and the relationship between human eye vision and visible camouflage, the paper has calculated and quantified some key parameters, such as the size of the basic unit, unit colors, and the dominant colors, and use the software to design the appropriate camouflage patterns. Evaluation results based on computer simulations and field tests prove that the method of calculating camouflage pattern design in the visible range proposed by the authors is suitable and can be applied to camouflage design.
