Patent ID: 8084078

Claim:
A multi-spectral imaging process, comprising: selecting colors of a specified wavelength or within a wavelength range to predetermine a visual presentation comprising specific coloration and color contrast in a target visualization regime; performing reverse transcription using a spectral correlation to determine correspondence of each of said colors in the target visualization regime to a color in a source visualization regime, wherein reverse transcription of the predetermined visual presentation in the target visualization regime results in a correlated visual presentation in the source visualization regime; and fabricating an object with the correlated visual presentation of the source visualization regime that produces the predetermined visual presentation of the object in the target visualization regime; wherein the process comprises at least one of the following characteristics: (a) the source visualization regime comprises visual perception of a human or a visualization machine-enhanced human, and the target visualization regime comprises visual perception of a non-human animal or of a machine; (b) said visual presentation of the object in one of the source and target visualization regimes comprises a camouflage presentation; and (c) said color selection is such that the visual presentation of the object in one of the source and target visualization regimes comprises a presentation that is more readily visually discriminated than the object lacking such coloration.
