In the last decade, research on the previously dormant field of
camouflage has advanced rapidly, with numerous studies challenging
traditional concepts, investigating previously untested theories
and incorporating a greater appreciation of the visual and
cognitive systems of the observer. Using studies of both real
animals and artificial systems, this book synthesises the current
state of play in camouflage research and understanding. It
introduces the different types of camouflage and how they work,
including background matching, disruptive coloration and
obliterative shading. It also demonstrates the methodologies used
to study them and discusses how camouflage relates to other
subjects, particularly with regard to what it can tell us about
visual perception. The mixture of primary research and reviews
shows students and researchers where the field currently stands and
where exciting and important problems remain to be solved,
illustrating how the study of camouflage is likely to progress in
the future.
