WOODLAND CONCEALMENT PRODUCTS
A woodland concealment sheet material product like thermal blankets and duct tape includes a graphic design printed or painted on one side of a sheet material like Mylar sheets and adhesive tapes. Four rasters of random noise formed into tiles and four woodland colors are mixed according to mixing maps and two-tone image contrast levels to produce unique camouflage patterns that cannot be anticipated.
1 . A woodland concealment sheet material, comprising:
a base sheet material sufficiently thin to be flexible and having inner and outer sides;
a rectangular shaped tile area at least partially disposed and at most repeatedly disposed in a tiled arrangement on the outer side of the base sheet material, and each such rectangular shaped tile area having a pair of parallel top-bottom edges and a pair of parallel left-right edges; and
a first plurality of overlapping and unsystematically positioned blobs, splotches, drops, spots, globules, and blotches each comprising color pigments restricted to muted flat earth tones of shades of gray, drab green, brown, and tans that each visually emulate a natural color found in dirt, moss, trees and rocks, and each and all disposed on the outer side of the base sheet material;
wherein, the first plurality are identically repeated in each rectangular shaped tile area, and all seamlessly blend each their overlapping and unsystematically positioned blobs, splotches, drops, spots, globules, and blotches across borders of the top-bottom and left-right edges of conjoining rectangular shaped tile area.
2 . The woodland concealment sheet material of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second plurality of swaying-grid positioned and consistently smaller sized blobs, splotches, drops, spots, globules, and blotches each comprising contrastingly darker color pigments restricted to muted flat earth tones of shades of gray, drab green, brown, and tans that together overlay a few larger areas of the first plurality and that faintly emulate a visual appearance of a swaying fabric on which the first plurality is disposed on the outer side of the base sheet material.
3 . The woodland concealment sheet material of claim 1 , further comprising:
a pressure sensitive adhesive applied to and covering the inner side of the base sheet material opposite to the outer side on which the first plurality is disposed;
wherein, the base sheet material includes a polyethylene-coated textile fabric cut into linear strips and coiled into rolls of tape.
4 . The woodland concealment sheet material of claim 1 , wherein, the base sheet material comprises Mylar plastic sheeting and is cut into blankets or tarps.
5 . The woodland concealment sheet material of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of overlapping and unsystematically positioned blobs, splotches, drops, spots, globules, and blotches are such that each constituent comprises a unique proportioned combination within any one rectangular shaped tile area of cyan-magenta-yellow-black color pigments in a limited range of cyan, a limited range of magenta, a limited range of yellow, and a limited range of black.
6 . The woodland concealment sheet material of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of overlapping and unsystematically positioned blobs, splotches, drops, spots, globules, and blotches are such that each constituent comprises a unique shape within any one rectangular shaped tile area.
7 . The woodland concealment sheet material of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of overlapping and unsystematically positioned blobs, splotches, drops, spots, globules, and blotches are such that each constituent has an area size in the range of 1% to 10% of the area size of any one rectangular shaped tile area.
8 . A method of making a woodland concealment sheet material, comprising:
generate a monochrome raster of random noise for each of four colors in a woodland camouflage color palette;
rotate and equally tile each of the four random-noise monochrome rasters as four individual tiles;
add to each of the four random-noise monochrome rasters a corresponding two-tone contrast level to the four individual tiles;
add to each of the four random-noise monochrome rasters a corresponding green, grey, tan, and brown color according to its respective two-tone contrast level;
mix together a pair of color pattern groups of the above according to a monochrome mixing map to obtain a unique woodland camouflage pattern; and
printing a flexible sheet material with whole and partial tiles of the unique woodland camouflage pattern repeated as necessary to join seamlessly along each edge with a neighboring tile.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising before the step of printing:
adding to the unique woodland camouflage pattern a visual cloth texturing raster, followed by printing of the combination.
