Abstract

The camouflages are present on civilian market and in military. First of all they are used by solders but also they can be used by hunters, military enthusiasts, clothing designers and game developers. These people are forced to design their own or choose between already developed camouflages, both military and civilian, so they cannot adapt it to their needs in a fast and easy way.

The paper presents and application as a solution to the problem of generating digital camouflages for civilian and military purposes. The proposed approach uses the satellite images of target areas to analyse colours and apply an algorithm to generate digital camouflages. The implementation of this approach allows users to easily generate digital camouflages to meet their specific needs. Currently, there are few solutions on the market that support this kind of customization and flexibility. The paper also presents the results of camouflage quality analysis. The analysis was carried out on camouflages obtained with the proprietary application, two selected market generators and selected military digital camouflages.
