- Abstract
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. The patterns were then clustered to five index colours, with the colours redefined using the collected field colour measurements and in-service camouflage reference colours of infrared reflectance (IRR) paint. The selection of the regions of interest for the pattern templates were picked based on the variation of colour composition. After comparison of a few generated patterns based on colour composition, the most suitable camouflage pattern template was selected.
