Abstract
This study has developed CamouLED, which is a real-time patterning technique for active camouflage, using light emitting diodes (LED). Once a CMOS camera receives a background image, camouflage patterns are generated real-time by the patterning program. The major strategies for color combination include Average, Main and Mosaic. Two arrangement types (Arrange, Random) control background properties and distribution of pixels to generate patterns. The generated patterns are then displayed on an 8 x 8 LED matrix. The system provides over 85% of color consistency between the inputted and outputted colors. Future researches should concentrate on improving the fine details of the real-time patterning program as well as the LED controlling technique for better adaptive camouflage.
