Description

The present invention relates to a camouflage pattern having an unprecedented design and an enhanced three-dimensional visual effect, a camouflage fabric made by utilizing the camouflage pattern, and a camouflage film.

A split camouflage is a camouflage pattern that is painted with two or more colors. Typically, a split camouflage is composed of a combination of pattern elements with irregular contours. For example, the Woodland Pattern consists of four colors, sand, brown, green, and black, which are a combination of irregular mottled pattern elements painted in each color. Such a split camouflage has a two-dimensional structure but produces a certain three-dimensional visual effect, and by selecting a camouflage pattern suitable for the surrounding environment, the object to which the camouflage pattern is applied is surrounded. It produces a camouflage effect that blends into the environment of. Patent Document 1 is designed to apply a camouflage pattern consisting of three colors to such a tire in consideration of the fact that the black color of the tire rises from the surrounding environment just by applying the camouflage pattern to the vehicle body of the beagle.

The main problem to be solved by the present invention is to make it possible to easily and appropriately provide a camouflage pattern having an unprecedented design property and further improved three-dimensional visual effect.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the camouflage pattern is a camouflage pattern constituting the divided camouflage from the first viewpoint.
It consists of a basic pattern and at least one sub-pattern that is a duplicate of the basic pattern or a part of the basic pattern and is displayed together with the basic pattern as an upper layer of the basic pattern.
The basic pattern, which is the lower layer, is subjected to image processing that obscures the outlines of the pattern elements that compose it by Gaussian blur .
The sub-pattern, which is the upper layer , is subjected to image processing so that its transparency is in the range of 50 to 80% .
Further, in the sub-pattern, the duplicated portion of the basic pattern is displayed at a position separated by a predetermined distance in both or one of the X direction and the Y direction orthogonal to the duplicated portion, and the basic pattern is displayed. The corresponding duplicated portion of the sub-pattern is displayed together with the duplicated portion of the pattern in a state where the latter is partially overlapped with the former.

Further, in the present invention, from the second viewpoint, the camouflage fabric is printed with the camouflage pattern.

Further, in the present invention, from the third viewpoint, the camouflage film is printed with the camouflage pattern.

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily and appropriately provide a camouflage pattern having an unprecedented design property and further improved three-dimensional visual effect.

Hereinafter, a typical embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. The camouflage pattern 1 according to this embodiment is a split camouflage, that is, a pattern element constituting the divided camouflage is painted separately using two or more colors, and does not include a monochromatic camouflage.

The camouflage pattern 1 is composed of a basic pattern 2 and at least one sub-pattern 3 which is a layer of the basic pattern 2 and is displayed together with the basic pattern 2.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the basic pattern 2. The basic pattern 2 is a combination of a plurality of pattern elements having irregular contours. In the illustrated example, the basic pattern 2 is overwritten on the base, the first layer pattern p2 overwritten on the base (overwritten so as to cover a part of the base), and the base and the first layer pattern p2. It is composed of a second layer pattern p3, a base, a first layer pattern p2, and a third layer pattern p4 overwritten on the second layer pattern p3. The base, which is not obscured as described above, constitutes the pattern p1 of the lowest layer. These patterns p1 to p4 are the pattern elements. That is, in the illustrated example, the camouflage pattern 1 is composed of four colors. Of course, the camouflage pattern 1 may be composed of two colors or may be composed of four or more colors.

In FIG. 1, the pattern p1 composed of the base is a blank, the pattern p2 of the first layer is a hatch consisting of lines parallel to the straight line shown by the reference numeral a in FIG. 1, and the pattern p3 of the second layer is indicated by the reference numeral b in FIG. The hatching consisting of lines parallel to the shown straight line and the pattern p4 of the third layer are shown by shading.

The basic pattern 2 is image-processed to obscure the contours of the pattern elements constituting the basic pattern 2.

On the other hand, the sub-pattern 3 is the same as the basic pattern 2 (replica) or a part of the basic pattern 2 (partial duplicate), and its transparency is in the range of 50 to 80%. Image processing is applied.

At the same time, the sub-pattern 3 has an X direction and / or a Y direction orthogonal to the duplicated portion of the basic pattern 2 (specifically, a pattern element constituting the basic pattern 2). On the other hand, the duplicated portion (specifically, the pattern element corresponding to the certain pattern element of the duplicated basic pattern 2 among the pattern elements constituting the sub-pattern 3) is displayed at a position separated by a predetermined distance. Let me do it.

In the illustrated example, the sub-pattern 3 is the same as all of the basic patterns 2.

The camouflage pattern 1 can be generated by using known image processing software used in a computer. The camouflage pattern 1 can be generated at least by the trade name Adobe Photoshop (ADOBE and PHOTOSHOP are registered trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated), which is image editing software provided by Adobe Systems Incorporated. An example of the generation process is shown below.

(First step)
The basic pattern 2 converted into digital image data is used as the first layer 2'(lower layer / background image) in the image processing software (FIG. 2).
(Second step)
The sub-pattern 3 converted into digital image data is used as a second layer 3'(upper layer / foreground image) displayed on top of the first layer 2'in the image processing software (FIG. 2).
(Third step)
Image processing is performed so that the transparency of the second layer 3'is in the range of 50 to 80% (FIG. 3). Specifically, the alpha value of the second layer 3'is adjusted.
(4th step)
Image processing is performed to obscure the outline of the pattern element in the first layer 2'(FIG. 4). Specifically, Gaussian blur is performed on the first layer 2'. Typically, a Gaussian blur with a standard deviation of about 6 pixels is applied to the first layer 2'.
(Fifth step)
The second layer 3'is moved in the X direction (horizontal direction in each figure) or the Y direction (vertical direction in each figure), or in the X direction and the Y direction by a predetermined distance (FIG. 5).
(Sixth step)
After appropriately adjusting the movement in the fifth step, the first layer 2'and the second layer 3'are combined into one digital image data (camouflage pattern 1) (FIG. 6).

The order of the third step and the fourth step may be reversed. Further, the fifth step may be performed on the first layer 2'. Further, when there are two or more sub-patterns 3, each of them is the target of the third step, and all the layers are combined in a state where the layers of each sub-pattern 3 are also displaced by the fifth step to form one. Digital image data will be generated.

The sub-pattern 3 constituting the camouflage pattern 1 thus generated is separated from the duplicated portion of the basic pattern 2 by a predetermined distance in both the X direction and the Y direction orthogonal to the duplicated portion. Since the duplicated portion corresponding to the position is displayed, a visual effect of making the flat camouflage pattern 1 feel the depth can be obtained (FIG. 6).

Specifically, for a certain pattern element (the duplicated portion) of the basic pattern 2, the corresponding pattern element (the corresponding duplicate portion) of the sub-pattern 3 which is a duplicate of the certain pattern element is the latter to the former pattern element. The pattern elements of are partially overlapped and displayed together (Fig. 6). As a result, a visual effect is obtained in which the former pattern element is recognized like the shadow of the latter pattern element. In other words, a visual effect can be obtained between the former pattern element and the latter pattern element so that the depth of a predetermined distance in the fifth step can be felt. In particular, since the basic pattern 2 is subjected to image processing that obscures the outlines of the pattern elements constituting the basic pattern 2, the visual effect of recognizing the pattern elements constituting the basic pattern 2 as the shadow is further improved. It is designed to be effectively enhanced.

The camouflage pattern 1 described above is typically provided as digital image data. The camouflage pattern 1 described above becomes a camouflage fabric constituting clothes, bags, bags, etc. by printing on a fabric such as a woven fabric. Further, by printing on a film, it becomes a camouflage film that can be hydraulically transferred to various articles and a camouflage film that can be used as makeup for various articles.

As a matter of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but includes all embodiments that can achieve the object of the present invention.
