Abstract

Camouflage patterns consist of complex patterning where the reflectance, as a function of wavelength of each pattern segment is specified. The complexity of camouflage patterns establishes a need to determine camouflage pattern reflectance characteristics as a function of distance to an observer. Different camouflage pattern segments incoherently combine at far field to become a segment-weighted, space-averaged, reflectance spectrum, i.e., the apparent reflectance spectrum of the camouflage pattern. This report demonstrates application of an algorithm for camouflage pattern segmentation, which is for parametric modeling of apparent reflectance spectra.
