camouflage

Camouflage is a technique to partially or completely alter the sensorial perception and / or meaning of a static / mobile element of a scenario (a human, a weapon, a trap, etc.); the idea is to modify its appearance enough to make it similar to something different (eg. a military vehicle into a civilian one) or to get unnoticed (eg. blending with the surroundings’ colors until “disappear”). Established distance and evaluated the quality of surveillance, the goal is to deceive specific subjects or technical equipment (a guard, an animal, a camera, etc.) in order to not raise their level of attention enough to react in an unwanted way (in many cases even only for a limited amount of time).
