Today, camouflage uniforms are an indispensable part of military equipment and serve not only as a means of disguising an object in a certain environment but also as a national symbol. Since battlefields and areas of international conflicts also take place in urban environments, the need to design urban camouflage is all the greater. The purpose of the research was to develop a procedure to create a set of camouflage patterns for the urban environment. The experimental part included the selection and processing of digital images of representative urban environments. Image processing simplified the digital photos by changing them into surface elements and contours, which helped us to extract representative shapes and sequences. Afterwards three methods for pattern design including the random and planned composition of shapes and sequences were developed and analysed. The procedures for pattern design included compositional and pictorial analyses of simplified digital images, principles of fractal sequences, a theory of the psychophysical comprehension of shapes and sequences, and knowledge about the visual and optical effects of shapes and repeats. The result of the research was the definition of an optimal procedure for digital camouflage pattern design, which was also confirmed by the Slovenian Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces.

Współcześnie odzież maskująca stanowi niezbędne wyposażenie wojskowe i służy nie tylko dla kamuflażu obiektu w danym otoczeniu ale również jako cecha rozróżniająca formacje wojskowe. Ponieważ obecnie międzynarodowe konflikty mają często miejsce w środowiskach miejskich wzrasta zapotrzebowanie na kamuflaż uwzględniający tego typu krajobraz. Celem badań było opracowanie metody uzyskiwania odpowiednich wzorów kamuflażu. Korzystając z fotografii opracowywano cyfrowe obrazy graficzne przetwarzając je w zróżnicowane struktury, które następnie analizowano. W czasie analizy wykorzystywano teorię fraktali i analizy psychologiczne. Celem pracy badawczej było uzyskanie optymalnego kamuflażu dla działania określonych jednostek operacyjnych.
