The Camouflage Machine: Optimising protective colouration using deep learning with genetic algorithms

2020-01-14

Abstract excerpt

The essential problem in visual detection is separating an object from its background. Whether in nature or human conflict, camouflage aims to make the problem harder, while conspicuous signals (e.g. for warning or mate attraction) require the opposite. Our goal is to provide a reliable method for identifying the hardest and easiest to find patterns, for any given environment. The problem is challenging because th...
