Talk:Multi-scale camouflage

Structuring
Sorry about the wonky structuring yesterday. I guess late night edits are a bad idea.

My suggestion for a structuring:


 * Lede (current one's good in my view)
 * Use of terms (pixelated, computer generated (fractal) and computer assisted construction) with sources (or at least examples of uses).
 * Principles (bi- or multi-scale, dithering and the somewhat speculative "edge effect")
 * History
 * List of well known patterns
 * References


 * Ok, let's try it, we can always adjust it if the material needs a different structure. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:32, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

The discussion on the UCP really belong in the UCP article. The failure of the pattern had nothing to do with whether it was pixelated or not.


 * Really? The point that DC only works if basic things like colours and contrast are suitable seems exactly and perfectly relevant to me. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:32, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, good point, but it need to be pressneted as such. Thimbleweed (talk) 13:14, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

TTsMKK "pixels"
Maybe it should be stressed that the colour blotches in Soviet TTsMKK and other beriozka-type camo patterns looked like pixels, but they were not.Joan Rocaguinard (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:17, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:40, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Fourier spatial amplitude spectra
This is a bit jargonesque, even with a link to Fourier. Would a link to Spatial frequency also be appropriate? ( Hohum  @ ) 18:36, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:42, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

O'Neill references
None of the O'Neill references are valid. These have been flagged. If no legitimate sources to O'Neill can be provided, then the name should be removed as unverifiable. This should be done separately for the 1970 and 2002 claims. Additionally, the general link regarding the 2002-2004 design change is generic, and so has been moved to the place where that design is discussed.


 * Update: according to the patent, the inventors are Santos et al. http://www.google.com/patents/US6805957 . This dates to 2001. I am unable to find any references to the 1970s claims. (added on 18:22, 28 July 2017‎ by 129.242.183.93)


 * Thanks. I have replaced the existing references and text, and have linked it to a brief bio at Timothy O'Neill (camoufleur). Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:15, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

External links modified (February 2018)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Multi-scale camouflage. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20121130142620/http://www.strikehold.net/2010/04/04/making-sense-of-digital-camouflage/ to http://www.strikehold.net/2010/04/04/making-sense-of-digital-camouflage/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Effectiveness against electronics?
Random internet posts claim that the digital patterns are digital because they are effective against image-processing software. But is this true? This article makes no mention of that. Some claim that the patterns disrupt cameras such as those used in cell-phones (... and drones) is this true or is it bunkum? (I suspect its bunk, but ...!?)

Somewhat related: deep-learning neural nets have been disrupting image processing (e.g. restoring/upscaling old photos, film) What happens to camo, if you use one of those systems? For example, can you build digital binoculars that would be able to see camo (better than plain binoculars)? 67.198.37.16 (talk) 22:07, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

is klmk covered?
Would 60s era soviet kamuflirovannyi letnyi maskirovochnyi kombinezon or KLMK be covered by this? Should it be mentioned? Fanccr (talk) 15:01, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
