摘要:
An image processing apparatus sections an image to be processed into a plurality of blocks, rearranges the blocks into positions specified by an encryption key that uniquely specifies the positions of the blocks in the image, determines a computing method used to convert pixel values of pixels that form a minimum area included in each of the blocks after the blocks are rearranged based on the pixel values of predetermined pixels that do not belong to the minimum area, and converts the pixel values based on the computing method.

A prediction error generating unit generates a predictive vector from the motion vectors of a plurality of adjacent blocks, and obtains a difference from a target vector. A plurality of variable-length coding units respectively encode the output of the prediction error generating unit with different encoding methods. A determining unit estimates the accuracy of the predictive vector generated by the prediction error generating unit based on the degrees of non-uniformity of the motion vectors of the plurality of adjacent blocks. A selecting unit selects one of the encoding results obtained by the plurality of variable-length coding units.
摘要:
A plurality of background texture patterns each of which includes a region not having a dot and having a feature different from those of the other background texture patterns, are combined, and information is embedded in a background region of a document image. Then, a mathematical-morphology-based conversion is performed on the document image, and thereby a feature of a region not having a dot in each of the background texture patterns is extracted in order to identify the embedded information.

A digital watermark embedding apparatus includes an interface unit which acquires video data and digital watermark information, and a processing unit which embeds the digital watermark information into the video data. The processing unit is adapted to cause the area of a watermark pattern formed by a plurality of pixels having a prescribed value, and superimposed on each image contained in the video data, to vary in periodic fashion over time according to the value of a symbol contained in the digital watermark information, and correct, using the prescribed value, the value of each pixel contained in a region where each image in the video data and the watermark pattern corresponding to that image overlap each other.

摘要:
A figure pattern expressing information to be embedded, or a position of an area in which the information to be embedded exists, is embedded in an area other than the background of image data, thereby generating image data embedded with a watermark. Then, the figure pattern is detected from the generated image data embedded with the watermark, and embedded information expressed by the detected figure pattern or embedded information existing in an area at a position expressed by the detected figure pattern is detected.

A marker attaching apparatus attaches to an image a positioning marker for detecting a specific area in the image, and includes: an area size detection unit detecting a size of an area to which the positioning marker is attached; a marker adjustment unit adjusting the positioning marker depending on the detected size of the area; and a marker attaching unit attaching the adjusted positioning marker to the image.
摘要:
Area data indicating an encryption area of image data and level data indicating an authority level for the encryption area are received. Upon being triggered by an input password, an encryption key is generated for each received authority level. Check data to be detected in verifying whether or not the encrypted image data in the encryption area is appropriately decrypted through decryption is implanted in the encryption area. Image encryption is performed on the encryption area where the check data is implanted, by using the encryption key corresponding to the authority level designated for the encryption area. In decryption, all decryption keys corresponding to all authority levels lower than or equal to the set authority level are used to decrypt each encryption area and determines whether or not an appropriate decryption has been performed on the basis of the result of the detection of the check data.

A figure pattern expressing information to be embedded, or a position of an area in which the information to be embedded exists, is embedded in an area other than the background of image data, thereby generating image data embedded with a watermark. Then, the figure pattern is detected from the generated image data embedded with the watermark, and embedded information expressed by the detected figure pattern or embedded information existing in an area at a position expressed by the detected figure pattern is detected.
摘要:
An embedding area in which a background pattern can be embedded from the color document image is extracted. At least one of a color and a shape of a background pattern appropriate for the embedding area is determined depending on an area color of the embedding area. A background pattern image is generated by embedding watermark information in the embedding area using the determined background pattern.
