Survey of Object Detection Methods in Camouflaged Image
Camouflage is an attempt to conceal the signature of a target object into the background image. Camouflage detection
methods or Decamouflaging method is basically used to detect foreground object hidden in the background image. In this
research paper authors presented survey of camouflage detection methods for different applications and areas
Hand Gesture Recognition as Password to Open the Door with Camera and Convexity Defect Method
Computer Vision is one of reasearch that gets a lot of attention with many applications. One of the application is the hand gesture recognition system. By using EmguCV, will be obtained camera images from webcam camera. The Pictures will be disegmented by using skin detection method for decrease noises in order to obtain the information needed. The final project of this system is to implement the convexity defect method for extracting images and recognize patterns of hand gesture that represent the characters A, B, C, D, and E. The parameters used in pattern recognition of hand gesture is the number and length of the line connecting the hull and defects derived from the pattern of hand gesture

A neural model of border-ownership from kinetic occlusion
Camouflaged animals that have very similar textures to their surroundings are difficult to detect when stationary. However, when an animal moves, humans readily see a figure at a different depth than the background. How do humans perceive a figure breaking camouflage, even though the texture of the figure and its background may be statistically identical in luminance? We present a model that demonstrates how the primate visual system performs figure–ground segregation in extreme cases of breaking camouflage based on motion alone. Border-ownership signals develop as an emergent property in model V2 units whose receptive fields are nearby kinetically defined borders that separate the figure and background. Model simulations support border-ownership as a general mechanism by which the visual system performs figure–ground segregation, despite whether figure–ground boundaries are defined by luminance or motion contrast. The gradient of motion- and luminance-related border-ownership signals explains the perceived depth ordering of the foreground and background surfaces. Our model predicts that V2 neurons, which are sensitive to kinetic edges, are selective to border-ownership (magnocellular B cells). A distinct population of model V2 neurons is selective to border-ownership in figures defined by luminance contrast (parvocellular B cells). B cells in model V2 receive feedback from neurons in V4 and MT with larger receptive fields to bias border-ownership signals toward the figure. We predict that neurons in V4 and MT sensitive to kinetically defined figures play a crucial role in determining whether the foreground surface accretes, deletes, or produces a shearing motion with respect to the background.This work was supported in part by CELEST (NSF SBE-0354378 and OMA-0835976), the Office of Naval Research (ONR N00014-11-1-0535) and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR FA9550-12-1-0436).

Camouflaged Image Synthesis Is All You Need to Boost Camouflaged Detection
Camouflaged objects that blend into natural scenes pose significant
challenges for deep-learning models to detect and synthesize. While camouflaged
object detection is a crucial task in computer vision with diverse real-world
applications, this research topic has been constrained by limited data
availability. We propose a framework for synthesizing camouflage data to
enhance the detection of camouflaged objects in natural scenes. Our approach
employs a generative model to produce realistic camouflage images, which can be
used to train existing object detection models. Specifically, we use a
camouflage environment generator supervised by a camouflage distribution
classifier to synthesize the camouflage images, which are then fed into our
generator to expand the dataset. Our framework outperforms the current
state-of-the-art method on three datasets (COD10k, CAMO, and CHAMELEON),
demonstrating its effectiveness in improving camouflaged object detection. This
approach can serve as a plug-and-play data generation and augmentation module
for existing camouflaged object detection tasks and provides a novel way to
introduce more diversity and distributions into current camouflage datasets
