This project aims to understand whether animal camouflage patterns can produce the illusion of 3D form. By using the latest techniques in 3D computer imaging, vision science and animal behaviour, this work addresses the previously untested but fundamental theory on 3D camouflage patterns. The development of theory on the ecology and evolution of animal patterning will enhance our understanding of the processes that maintain biological diversity. This research is expected to have broad impact across multiple disciplines and will inform novel military defence strategies and contribute to emerging bio-inspired technologies.

该项目旨在了解动物伪装图案是否可以产生 3D 形态的错觉。通过使用 3D 计算机成像、视觉科学和动物行为领域的最新技术，这项工作解决了之前未经测试但关于 3D 伪装图案的基本理论。生态学和动物形态进化理论的发展将增强我们对维持生物多样性过程的理解。这项研究预计将在多个学科产生广泛影响，并将为新型军事防御战略提供信息，并为新兴的仿生技术做出贡献。
