Summary

Visual camouflage is used by animals as well as humans in order to conceal or obscure their visual signature. In the field of computer vision, work related to camouflage can be roughly divided into two: camouflage assessment and design (e.g. Copeland & Trivedi 1997; Gretzmacher et al. 1998), and camouflage breaking. Despite the ongoing research, only little has been said in the computer vision literature on visual camouflage breaking (Marouani et al. 1995; Guilan & Shunqing 1997; McKee et al. 1997; Ternovskiy & Jannson 1997; Huimin et al. 1999).
