Abstract: This research systematically evaluates the effectiveness of 14 distinct camouflage patterns across various arid environments. The study employs a comprehensive quantitative measurement framework, integrating two advanced image processing techniques: Gabor filters and Local Binary Patterns (LBP). These techniques provide an objective analysis of camouflage concealment by assessing the patterns’ ability to blend into a diverse range of arid environmental backdrops. The research emphasizes the structural and textural aspects of camouflage patterns while deliberately excluding the influence of color palettes to isolate the impact of design elements. Data is collected and analyzed to quantify the performance of each pattern under controlled conditions, ensuring consistent and replicable results. The findings offer valuable insights into optimizing camouflage design, with practical implications for enhancing concealment strategies in military operations and wildlife research. By focusing on pattern design alone, this study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how texture and structure influence the effectiveness of visual camouflage in arid landscapes.
