ABSTRACT
Military camouflages is one of the research areas in human factors & ergonomics and purchasing a new military camouflage design has been a critical issue in the Indonesian military. The purpose of this study was to assess the existing Indonesian military camouflage effectiveness using Camouflage Similarity Index (CSI) algorithm. CSI algorithm shows a value between 0 to 1 and the lowest value 0 is achieved if the selected camouflage perfectly blends with the selected background. A total of 8 Indonesian military camouflage was evaluated under 5 different locations (20x50 pixels) from one selected woodland background. Each location had different L*, a*, and b* values. ANOVA test showed that there was a significant effect of camouflage on CSI. Post-hoc Tukey test was utilized to derive the difference between each camouflage. This study represents a first attempt to assess the effectiveness of Indonesian military camouflages and the results of this study could be very beneficial for military organizations, academicians, and camouflage manufacturers particularly related to purchasing decisions.
