Design and Application of Bionic Camouflage Materials Simulating Spectral Reflection Characteristics of Plants: A Review
Source abstract
Abstract
Hyperspectral remote sensing (RS) has rapidly developed in recent years and has been widely used in the military field. This technology not only brings huge opportunities for military reconnaissance but also poses unprecedented challenges to military camouflage, severely complicating the development of plant hyperspectral camouflage materials and technology. In this review, the spectral reflectance characteristics of plants and the application of hyperspectral RS in plant RS and military operations are reviewed. The development status of bionic camouflage materials that simulate the spectral reflection characteristics of plants is analyzed. With the existing hyperspectral camouflage materials and technology, bionic camouflage technology is limited by the inability of bionic materials to accurately imitate the characteristic absorption peaks of green vegetation, low stability and durability, and the large overall material thickness, which complicate actual large-scale application. On this basis, a future development direction and a trend of plant hyperspectral bionic camouflage materials and technology are proposed.
