Abstract

Systems, processes, and computer program products for creating visual designs and arrangements that originate from an image or images are provided. In particular, the present subject matter relates to systems, processes, and computer program products for taking captured images of an intended operating environment and creating visual designs that create visual confusion that can be utilized to disguise a recognizable form of a person or an object by breaking up its outline using portions, magnifications and distortions of a single captured image, portions, magnifications and distortions of multiple captured images, and/or disruptive patterns that can projected on an image screen or can be printed on a material.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions embodied in a computer readable medium that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:
 processing a captured image to occupy a dispersal mask template layer of a dispersal pattern that comprises multiple dispersal mask template layers; and   occupying the other layers of the multiple dispersal mask template layers of the dispersal pattern to form a camouflage pattern.   
     
     
         2 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the computer readable medium is executed by a processor of a computer control on a mobile smart device. 
     
     
         3 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 2 , wherein the occupying the other layers of the multiple dispersal mask template layers of the dispersal pattern comprises processing on the mobile smart device multiple captured images to occupy at least some of the other layers of the multiple dispersal mask template layers of the dispersal pattern, with each captured image occupying a layer of the other layers of the multiple layers. 
     
     
         4 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 2 , wherein the occupying the other layers of the multiple dispersal mask template layers of the dispersal pattern comprises occupying at least some of the other layers of the multiple dispersal mask template layers of the dispersal pattern with one or more colors. 
     
     
         5 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 2 , wherein the captured image comprises an image of the intended operating environment captured by an image taking device on the mobile smart device. 
     
     
         6 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 5 , further comprising obtaining geo-location data associated the intended operating environment and assigning the geo-location data to the captured image and the camouflage pattern. 
     
     
         7 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 6 , further comprising digitally displaying the completed camouflage pattern along with geo-coordinates on a display screen of the mobile smart device. 
     
     
         8 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 1 , further comprising quantizing the colors in the camouflage pattern and replacing the colors in the camouflage pattern with colors from the color range system closest to the colors in the subsection of the capture image. 
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 8 , wherein the color range system comprises at least one of a milspec color system or an RBG color system. 
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 1 , further comprising using an augmented reality function to compare the formed camouflage pattern to the intended operating environment by displaying a thumbnail of the camouflage pattern on real time images of the operating environment on a display screen of the mobile smart device. 
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 1 , further comprising sending the created camouflage pattern via electronic communications to a production facility for printing the created camouflage pattern on a substrate. 
     
     
         12 . A process of creating a camouflage pattern, the process comprising:
 obtaining images captured of an intended operating environment in which a camouflage pattern is to be used;   processing a captured image of the obtained captured images to occupy a dispersal mask template layer of a dispersal pattern that comprises multiple layers; and   occupying the other layers of the multiple dispersal mask template layers of a dispersal pattern to form a camouflage pattern.   
     
     
         13 . The process according to  claim 1 , wherein the processing and occupying are performed by a processor of a computer control on a mobile smart device. 
     
     
         14 . The process according to  claim 13 , wherein the occupying the other layers of the multiple layers of the dispersal mask template comprises processing on the mobile smart device multiple captured images to occupy at least some of the other layers of the multiple layers of the dispersal mask template, with each captured image occupying a layer of the other layers of the multiple layers. 
     
     
         15 . The process according to  claim 13 , wherein the occupying the other layers of the multiple layers of the dispersal mask template comprises occupying at least some of the other layers of the multiple layers of the dispersal mask template with one or more colors. 
     
     
         16 . The process according to  claim 13 , wherein the captured image comprises an image of the intended operating environment captured by an image taking device on the mobile smart device. 
     
     
         17 . The process according to  claim 16 , further comprising obtaining geo-location data associated the intended operating environment and assigning the geo-location data to the captured image and the camouflage pattern. 
     
     
         18 . The process according to  claim 16 , further comprising matching a camouflage pattern color from the captured image with colors from a color range system. 
     
     
         19 . A system for creating a camouflage substrate, the system comprising:
 a mobile smart device configured to capture one or more images of an intended operating environment in which a camouflage pattern is to be used, the mobile smart device also configured to process a captured image of the obtained captured images to occupy a layer of a dispersal mask template that comprises multiple layers having different and overlapping boundaries and the mobile smart device configured to occupy the other layers of the multiple layers of the dispersal mask template to form a camouflage pattern;   a receiving computer associated with is production facility that is configured to receive an electronic communication that includes an electronic file of the camouflage pattern from the mobile device;   a printing apparatus in communication with the receiving computer, the printing apparatus configured to print the camouflage pattern on a substrate.   
     
     
         20 . The process according to claim  25 , further comprising a database in communication with the receiving computer, the database being configured to save a plurality of camouflage patterns formed on mobile devices on different intended operating environments received by the receiving computer.
