Camouflage as an Adaptive Control System: Applications for Multimedia and Interactive Composition

We first make some considerations on the biological phenomenon of camouflage as a biological control adaptive process and discuss possible approaches for its mathematical modeling. We then focus on applications to interactive media using a simplified approach in which an L-system is imitated by means of a Markov chain. This model is implemented with computational vision and multichannel spatialization techniques as a tool for computer assisted composition.
