That's exactly what that is, snazzy:
wikipedia
For those of you who aren't familiar, Dazzle camo was developed not to hide the presence of an object, but to mask it's size, shape, and heading. Obviously this is particularly useful if you don't want a U-boat captain to be able to determine whether the ship they are firing at is a battleship or a dinky gunboat, but I suppose is also useful if you don't want a large, potentially obtrusive, object to be easily identified in a public park.
