A review of cuttlefish camouflage and object recognition and evidence for depth perception

Abstract: SummaryCuttlefishes of the genus Sepia produce adaptive camouflage by regulating the expression of visual features such as spots and lines, and textures including stipples and stripes. They produce the appropriate pattern for a given environment by co-ordinated expression of about 40 of these 'chromatic components'. This behaviour has great flexibility, allowing the animals to produce a very large number of patterns, and hence gives unique access to cuttlefish visual perception. We have, for instance, tested t… Show more

“…The level of expression of each component can be varied in a continuous manner (Kelman et al 2008). Our unpublished principal components analysis of the coloration patterns displayed on a large range of natural backgrounds indicates that there are at least six degrees of freedom in the range of cryptic patterns produced by cuttlefish (see also Crook et al 2002).…”

“…Chiao et al 2007;Zylinski et al 2009a,b). This work is reviewed elsewhere (Kelman et al 2008;Hanlon et al 2011;Zylinski & Osorio 2011), but the main conclusions are as follows. Regarding low-level image parameters, cuttlefish are sensitive to mean reflectance, contrast, spatial frequency and spatial phase (Kelman et al 2008).…”
