DECEPTION METHOD AND PRODUCT

摘要

A camouflage surface for concealment from, and deception of, a herbivorous animal comprises a camouflage pattern made up of at least two different sets of areas which reflect electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths in the near-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. All the areas of each set reflect said near-infrared radiation in the same fashion as one another and in a fashion different from the fashion in which the areas of each other set reflect said radiation. The different sets of areas all have, in the near-infrared range, spectral reflectance curves having reflectance maxima at wavelengths of above 680 nm. Each spectral reflectance curve which the surface has in the visible light range of the electromagnetic spectrum is without a reflectance maximum in the wavelength range of 480 - 680 nm and each spectral reflectance curve which the surface has in the visible light range has a reflectance maximum at a wavelength below 480 nm.
