Abstract

In contrast to full simulation, ‘hybrid’ simulation, in which a virtual target is combined with a real recording of a scene, has been shown to create realistic imagery of targets with sufficient fidelity to assess the visual signature of a target. This method allows one to evaluate different camouflage designs and targets in a variety of backgrounds. Ultimately, the goal is to use a dataset of recorded imagery taken under various (weather) conditions as benchmark for signature analysis for any platform and camouflage pattern. To achieve this, the set of required calibration elements, such as MacBeth Color Checker and probe spheres, should be limited. In this study the extent to which a target coated with a given paint can be predicted from a limited set of painted probe spheres, e.g. differing in colour and/or gloss, is analyzed.
