STRIDE Digital Camo Development
While a number of camouflage patterns have been designed, none of them are suitable for the Malaysian coastal environment. Hence, this research objective is aimed at designing a camouflage pattern for Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) coastal patrol boats. Representative coastal environment training grounds in Lumut (Perak), Pulau Indah (Selangor) and Port Dickson (Negeri Sembilan) were selected. The captured images of the study areas were converted to digital and artistic patterns.
Interestingly the design match with the digital camo introduced during the last HUT ATM ke 80. The improvement of the woodland pattern to the recent trend of digital (pixelated) camouflage pattern is due to the dithering effect, which does not show solid lines between the colours. The digital pattern is able to degrade edges of shapes to disrupt the form of target objects, and would require more time for detection and recognition in specific environments. In addition, the determination of the pattern size to be created is also a vital criterion.
