Optimising colour for camouflage and visibility using deep learning: the effects of the environment and the observer’s visual system

2018-09-26

Abstract excerpt

Avoiding detection can provide significant survival advantages for prey, predators, or the military; conversely, maximising visibility would be useful for signalling. One simple determinant of detectability is an animal’s colour relative to its environment. But identifying the optimal colour to minimise (or maximise) detectability in a given natural environment is complex, partly because of the nature of the perce...
