  2. Motion camouflage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_camouflage

    Principle of motion camouflage by mimicking the optic flow of the background. An attacker flies towards a target, choosing its path so that it remains on a line between target and a real point behind the attacker; this path differs from classical pursuit, and is often shorter (as illustrated here).

    A guidance law resulting in motion camouflage is used by a number of predator species. By setting up the chase so that the predator either appears stationery relative to background while looming larger (real-point motion camouflage), or always appears at a fixed bearing (infinite-point motion camouflage), the predator reduces its chance of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distractive_markings

    Disruptive and distractive camouflage both rely on conspicuous markings, but differ in their mechanisms, and therefore in the most effective size and position of the markings. [3] For camouflage to succeed, an individual has to pass undetected, unrecognized or untargeted, and hence it is the processing of visual information that needs to be ...

    To confuse the human observers, ships often used dazzle camouflage, which consisted of painting lines on a ship in an effort to make determining a target's angle on the bow difficult. While dazzle camouflage was useful against some types of optical rangefinders, this approach was useless against radar and it fell out of favor during World War II.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-scale_camouflage

    Multi-scale camouflage is a type of military camouflage combining patterns at two or more scales, often (though not necessarily) with a digital camouflage pattern created with computer assistance. The function is to provide camouflage over a range of distances, or equivalently over a range of scales (scale-invariant camouflage), in the manner ...
