Notes of Meeting

21/1/13

9.05am-9.55am

All members present

Completed Tasks:

- Gantt Chart

- Literature reviews, to be posted

Items Discussed (with regards to the research)

- After our literature reviews, we have discovered that the most common methods which are used to research on the effectiveness are the mean time taken to spot the camouflaged object. 

- We will be doing 3 tests, which have two versions each. One will be based on printed squares, with camouflaged patterns, with two versions: Digital vs. Analogue, Digital vs. Natural. The second one will be human figures, Digital vs. Analogue, Digital vs Natural. The second one requires actual camouflage uniforms from Singapore Army. The natural camouflage may be fielded from camouflage nets with twigs or borrowed from teachers who were snipers. The final one is the IR spectrum test, mainly to determine whether natural camouflage (twigs, leaves) serve to conceal IR emissions of soldiers.
