Research abstract
AMHERST SYSTEMS PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AN EXPANDABLE AND RECONFIGURABLE SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK FOR TARGET VISUALIZATION WHICH WILL IMPROVE THE DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF CAMOUFLAGE MEASURES AND DECOYS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED EFFORT IS TO PROVIDE THE ARMY WITH AN INTERACTIVE TOOL FOR THE SUBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF CAMOUFLAGE AND DECEPTION METHODS, AND FOR THE QUANTITATIVE MEASURE OF CAMOUFLAGE EFFECTIVENESS TO BE USED IN DETECTION AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS. TO ACHIEVE THIS, COMPUTER GENERATED TARGET IMAGES WILL BE MERGED WITH MEASURED BACKGROUND IMAGERY. THE COLORS AND PATTERNS APPLIED TO THE TARGET WILL BE SPECIFIED AND ALTERED THROUGH A USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE FEATURING PULL-DOWN MENUS AND CONTEXT SENSITIVE ASSISTANCE.
