abstract = {UV-protection and near infrared camouflage are the two major camouflage protections in modern military tactics. 
However, not all natural and composite dyestuffs provide the above mentioned properties. In this study, green leaves 
were chosen as the simulating object, and the camouflage properties of cotton dyed with Lithospermum were 
evaluated. It was observed that the dyed cotton fabric had good UV-protection and near-infrared camouflage 
properties. The UV- protection effect was strongly dependent on the absorption characteristics of Lithospermum while 
absorbing UV radiations. The near infrared camouflage effect was mainly dependent on the reflection spectrum 
characteristics of Lithospermum in the near infrared waveband.},
