摘要:
To provide a variety of methods for extracting digital watermark information from an image as correctly as possible. For example, a first pattern arrangement and a second pattern arrangement which is different from the first pattern arrangement for use in a calculation for extracting the digital watermark information are provided. A state of an original image without the digital watermark information embedded is inferred, using a second pattern arrangement, and a reliability of the digital watermark information to be extracted in accordance with the state is determined. Or to decide the embedding position of the digital watermark information from the image data, the extracting start position is discriminated by detecting the positional information by multiple times at the different extracting start positions. Or to detect a geometrical distortion, a registration signal is embedded on the image.

A registration signal embedding method of embedding registration signals adaptively in accordance with image signals. The frequency property of image data is determined, and either a first registration signal or a second registration signal is selected in accordance with the frequency property, and is added to image data. The registration embedded in this way has the advantage of increased resistance and easy detection.

This invention provides a technique capable of always keeping digital watermark information embedded in image data having the embedded digital watermark information by an optimum scheme on the basis of a time factor, or removing a digital watermark, or erasing the image data. An apparatus for achieving the above object has functions of holding image data having additional information embedded as a digital watermark, detecting time information related to the image data, and changing the embedding scheme for the additional information as the digital watermark embedded in the image data on the basis of the detected time information.

The invention efficiently controls the method for embedding digital watermark information into digital information or detecting such digital watermark information. Also in case the digital information has components of different kinds, the invention enables individual management of the digital watermark information and information indicating the embedding method therefor. In a configuration for attaining these objects, there are provided input means for inputting the digital information composed of signal components of plural kinds, and control means for controlling the method for embedding the digital watermark information in the signal component of a first kind contained in the signal components of plural kinds, based on the signal component of a second kind contained in the signal components of plural kinds.

It is an object of this invention to reliably pad electronic water-mark information even in a moving image constituted by a plurality of frames whose contents hardly change and easily pad electronic water-mark information even in a general moving image obtained by photographing an object at one angle. In order to achieve this object, there is provided an electronic water-mark information padding scheme of padding electronic water-mark information in only intraframe-encoded data without padding any electronic water-mark information in interframe-encoded data.

An accounting apparatus has a money input, by which a user can input an amount of money into the apparatus. A receiver receives a body of information transmitted over a communication medium, and a register is arranged to store at least two data received with such body of information. A control unit processes the at least two data in the register received with such body of information, and the amount input by the user via the money input, and an indicator indicates to the user whether the user is permitted access to the body of information, based on a result of processing provided by the control unit.

A decoder of a communication apparatus includes a CPU which controls decoding processing, and a memory which stores a decoding processing program. The decoding processing program includes a syndrome polynomial generating unit which generates a syndrome polynomial on the basis of a received word, a polynomial updating unit which updates an error locator polynomial and an error evaluator polynomial, which are set using the generated syndrome polynomial, on the basis of a degree of the error locator polynomial, and a decoded sequence generating unit which generates a decoded sequence on the basis of the error locator polynomial and the error evaluator polynomial, thus decoding communication codes at a high speed with a minimal computational complexity.

A multiplier apparatus designed to multiply integers of many figures with a small circuit scale in such a manner that an input value is partitioned and multiplication is performed by taking account of carries. With respect to partitioned input values, partial multiplications are repeatedly performed in parallel with each other, and results of the partial multiplications are added by a plurality of adders. A carry occurring at each adder is added in the same adder or in an upper adder in the next cycle of addition. A circuit for this operation may be formed as a systolic array of identical processing elements to perform the operation in a pipe line processing manner.

An error correction system includes the steps of generating a first parity by multiplying a sequentially incrementing weight by each bit of transmitting data and summing the products, generating a second parity by multiplying a sequentially incrementing weight by each bit of received data and summing the products, comparing the first parity with the second parity, detecting an error in the received data for the transmitting data based on the comparison result, and correcting the detected error based on the detection result.
摘要:
In an embedding technique of an invisible or visible digital watermark information, it is a main object to provide a technique which can reconstruct an original image and avoid an increase of the whole image data due to holding of key information or the like. To accomplish this object, an image processing apparatus of the invention is constructed by, an input unit for inputting image data showing an original image, a compressing unit for compressing at least a part of the image data, and an embedding unit for embedding compression data obtained by the compressing unit into the image data so that it is difficult to be identified by the human eyes by converting a part of the image data.
