Psychophysics of human vision and camouflage pattern design

Abstract

The psychophysics of human vision describes how humans perceive and process information in a scene. The physiological aspects (e.g. spatial resolution and spectral resolution) as well as the psychological aspects of vision have been investigated. Camouflage patterns, having some specific properties, have been designed. These patterns were printed on fabric and camouflage uniforms were made, which were evaluated in the field, using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The patterns with specific spectral and spatial properties performed as expected. However, effects like depth perception could not be observed in the field
