Distance d1 between the right edges of A1 and B2, and distance d2 between the right edges of A3 and B4 are calculated. If data to be embedded is 1, one or a combination of a process for increasing the size of B2 in the column direction or decreasing the size of B4 in the column and a process for moving the position of B2 toward B3 or moving the position of B4 toward B3 is executed to meet d1>d2. If data to be embedded is 0, one or a combination of a process for decreasing the size of B2 in the column direction or increasing the size of B4 in the column direction, and a process for moving the position of B2 toward B1 or moving the position of B4 toward B5 is executed to meet d1

It is required to protect the copyrights and the like of partial images which form respective parts of an image obtained by reading an image, exchanged using a print as a medium, by an image scanner or the like. Input image data is divided into a plurality of image regions having different features, digital watermarks, which are embedded in the detected image regions by embedding methods corresponding to the features of the image regions, are extracted, and the availability of the input image is checked on the basis of the extracted digital watermarks.

A document image undergoes document analysis to obtain circumscribing rectangles of characters (S601), and two distances between non-neighboring circumscribing rectangles from the head of the document are respectively calculated as d1 and d2 (S603). If information to be embedded is 1, one or a combination of a process for changing a parameter associated with the size of a circumscribing rectangle and a process for changing a parameter associated with the position of a circumscribing rectangle is executed to satisfy d1>d2 (S605). If information to be embedded is 0, one or a combination of the above two parameter change processes is executed to satisfy d1
摘要:
An apparatus for embedding a digital watermark in a document image detects circumscribing outer shapes of characters in the document image and sets a plurality of reference lines that extend in the column direction and are spaced apart in the row direction by a basic pitch. The outer shapes include a first outer shape, a second outer shape that neighbors the first outer shape, and a third outer shape that neighbors the second outer shape, and the reference lines include a first reference line located between the first outer shape and the second outer shape, and a second reference line located between the second outer shape and the third outer shape. Control is performed for at least one of the second and third outer shapes so that a distance between the first reference line and an edge of the second outer shape is different from a distance between the second reference line and an edge of the third outer shape, in accordance with digital watermark information to be embedded.

摘要:
A method for embedding a digital watermark includes a step of inputting digital watermark information; a step of inputting an image; a step of dividing the image into a plurality of areas; a step of ordering the plurality of areas according to a predetermined ordering criterion; a step of embedding the digital watermark information over the plurality of areas that have been ordered; and a step of outputting an image with the digital watermark information embedded therein.
摘要:
A method for image processing comprising inputting and reading a combined image that includes a latent image unperceivable by the human eye, a patterned image in the background allowing the latent image to appear clearly on a recording medium when data recorded on a recording medium is copied onto another recording medium, and text and/or image data embedded with a digital watermark. The text and/or image data is extracted from the combined image and the digital watermark extracted from the text and/or image data. A permission code enabling copying of image data composed of a combination of a patterned image and the extracted text and/or image data onto a recording medium is input. The copying is regulated based on the extracted digital watermark and the permission code.
摘要:
Character code data and vector drawing data are both listed and provided in a re-editable manner. Electronic data is generated in which information obtained by vectorizing character areas in an image and information obtained by recognizing characters in the image are stored in respective storage locations. As for the electronic data generated in this manner, because character code data and vector drawing data generated from the input image are both presented by a display and edit program, a user can immediately utilize the both data.
摘要:
A mobile terminal reads a read manuscript as image data. A character recognition block performs character recognition from the image data, which is read, on the basis of a threshold for judgement of unrecognizableness. A character recognition result is transmitted to a central control unit, or the threshold for judgement of unrecognizableness is received from the central control unit in a threshold receiver. On the other hand, the central control unit receives the result of character recognition from the mobile terminal, or transmits the threshold for judgement of unrecognizableness from a threshold transmitter to the mobile terminal. Furthermore, the central control unit controls the threshold for judgement of unrecognizableness with a threshold controller.
摘要:
A plurality of binary images are obtained from one form image by binarizing the form image by using a plurality of binarizing threshold values for improving a recognition rate of the search form irrespective of a state of the inputted form image, and format data are generated respectively from the plurality of binary images. If the inputted form image is a binary image, after the binary image has been converted into a multi-valued image by a vignetting filter, a plurality of binary images are obtained from one form image by executing the binarizing processing by use of the plurality of binarizing threshold values respectively, thereby generating the format data respectively from the plurality of binary images.
