CONCEALMENT METHOD AND CONCEALMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18273180 titled 'CONCEALMENT METHOD AND CONCEALMENT SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a concealment method involving the use of optical elements to hide an object from view.

  • Acquiring image data showing a background of an object
  • Detecting a change in a component in a predetermined direction in the image data
  • Determining a pseudo direction of the image data based on the detection result
  • Arranging a first concealment body with optical elements between the object and an observation position, refracting light rays in a predetermined direction

Potential Applications

This technology could be used for military camouflage, surveillance operations, or even in the entertainment industry for special effects.

Problems Solved

Original Abstract Submitted

A concealment method includes: acquiring image data showing a background of an object; detecting a change in a component in a predetermined direction included in the image data; determining a pseudo direction of the image data on the basis of the result of the detection; and arranging, between the object and an observation position of the object, a first concealment body including a plurality of optical elements having a property of refracting light rays in a predetermined direction and continuously arranged in an arrangement direction in a state of the arrangement direction being oriented in a direction along the pseudo direction.
