Camouflage images based on mean value interpolation

Abstract

This paper proposes a new algorithm to generate camouflage images. The proposed algorithm starts from converting the foreground and the background images from RGB color space to oRGB color space respectively, and then uses mean value interpolation followed by alpha blending operation on the luma channel. The alpha blending operation is achieved by introducing a parameter that indicates the hidden level of the foreground object. Chroma channels of camouflage images directly come from those of the background image. Our system is efficient because of our CUDA parallel implementation. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively and interactively generate high quality camouflage images. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
