• Disruption or aposematism? Significance of dorsal zigzag pattern of European vipers (2011, background): “Moreover, the zigzag pattern of European vipers rarely meets the body outlines (see De Smedt 2001), which would be the first precondition of disruptiveness (Cott 1940; Stevens and Merilaita 2009a, b).”
• Camouflage through behavior in moths: the role of background matching and disruptive coloration (2015, background): “, masquerade) against the background substrate or environment (Stevens and Merilaita 2009a).”
• Concealed Object Detection (2021, background): “Sensory ecologists [4] have found that this BMC strategy works by deceiving”
• Simultaneously Localize, Segment and Rank the Camouflaged Objects (2021, background): “Moreover, since most camouflaged objects lack obvious contrast with the background in terms of low-level features [44], the detection of camouflaged objects may resort to features relevant to some “discriminative patterns”, such as face, eyes or antenna.”
• The Limitations of Hierarchical Organization* (2012, background): “The properties of cells, of larger parts of animals, and of nearby materials variously realize organism camouflage by matching backgrounds, concealing shadows, obliterating forms, disguising motion, masquerading as other objects, or creating other perceptual effects (Stevens and Merilaita 2009).”
• Camouflaged Object Detection (2020, background): “Sensory ecologists [57] have found that this camouflage strategy works by deceiving the visual perceptual system of the observer.”
• Camouflaged Object Segmentation with Distraction Mining (2021, background): “Camouflaged Object Segmentation (COS) has a long and rich research history in many fields such as biology and art [47], and hugely influenced by two remarkable studies [49, 7].”
• Camouflaged Object Detection with Feature Decomposition and Edge Reconstruction (2023, background): “COD is a challenging task as it needs to combat against excellent camouflage strategies, including background matching [41], disruptive coloration [33], etc.”
• Color change and camouflage in juvenile shore crabs Carcinus maenas (2014, background): “Camouflage is perhaps the most widespread and common means to avoid predation in nature, and can be achieved through a variety of mechanisms (Wallace, 1889; Poulton, 1890; Thayer, 1909; Cott, 1940; Stevens and Merilaita, 2009, 2011).”
