Camouflage has a long history in the development of mankind and has developed rapidly since the beginning of the twentieth century along with electronic and optical technology. In Vietnam, in addition to the traditional approach, modern camouflage has attracted researchers inside and outside the military. However, the evaluation of camouflage effectiveness is still in the early stages with the lack of official criteria and references. In this article, we propose a method to evaluate the effectiveness of camouflage in the visible light spectrum using a multi-criteria algorithm, combined with a visual evaluation method by human eyes to compare and evaluate. The computer simulation results show that the multi-criteria evaluation method has high reliability, giving similar results to the visual evaluation method.
