Abstract

With the diversification of reconnaissance equipment and methods in the military field, optical stealth technology has become a hot spot in military research under the operational needs of optoelectronic confrontation. An improved self-adaptive visible light and infrared waveband stealth algorithm is proposed here, and its effectiveness under photoelectric confrontation is evaluated. The current digital camouflage design method is mainly through background color mixing, image segmentation, spot combination, etc. It has the defects of smooth and clear edge contour, fixed color/texture scene, and cannot adapt to complex texture background or multiple types of scenes. An improved digital camouflage design method based on fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM) image processing technology is proposed to obtain the color characteristics of the background image. Then, the color block types of the camouflage spots are acquired to reduce the loss of texture information of the background image caused by clustering or segmentation to avoid the phenomenon of clear boundaries caused by single region segmentation. The results show that the use of adaptive optical stealth algorithms in the visible and infrared bands can reduce the probability of being discovered in optoelectronic countermeasures, thereby gaining a head start.
