Camouflage is one of texture patterns that include various local shapes and colors mainly to enable to hide in the background. It is difficult to create camouflage patterns that adapt to the background by hand-crafted because of large amount of trial-and-error processes required to improve the combination of shapes and colors by creators. In this paper, we have proposed a method that can automatically create various camouflage patterns by using Ant Painting. In the proposed method, artificial ants with feature values extracted from the input image repeat drawing color patterns to the user specified canvas. We demonstrate that the proposed method can generate various camouflage patterns with randomness by emergent phenomena caused by the interaction among artificial ants. In addition, we discuss effectiveness of the proposed method from viewpoint of similarity evaluation and saliency detection.
