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.

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.

An encrypting device encrypts original document data by use of a password of an addressee, thereby generating encrypted document data. A decryption authority changing device, of which operating authority is held by the addressee, generates authority changing information M structured by encrypting the password of the addressee with a password of a proxy, and notifies a decrypting device of the information, of which the operating authority is held by the proxy. The decrypting device decrypts the password of the addressee by employing the password of the proxy, and decrypts the encrypted document data by use of the decrypted password of the addressee.

Input data is converted into an image, and in the input image, an encryption region that is a region in which the image is to be encrypted. Meanwhile, on the basis of an encryption key, encryption key-related information that is information related to the encryption key is generated, and the encryption key-related information is embedded into the image in the encryption region, to generate a first intermediate image. Next, the first intermediate image is converted on the basis of the encryption key, to generate a second intermediate image. Then, the pixel values of the second intermediate image are converted so that the position of the encryption region can be specified. As a result of the conversion, an encrypted image in which the part corresponding to the encryption region in the input image is generated.

An apparatus includes: a generator which generates a first pattern including a plurality of pixels having a first value, with an area of the first pattern changing in a constant cycle, and, a phase of cyclical change of the area changing based on a value of a symbol included in an inputted digital watermark information; a generator which generates a second pattern including a plurality of pixels having a second value, with an area of the second pattern changing with a frequency characteristic that is different from the cycle of change of the area; and a unit which superimposes the first and the second pattern into each image area of images in time series constituting an inputted video image to correct a value of each pixel in an image area to which the first or the second pattern is superimposed according to the first and the second value.

An image processing system includes: an image input unit which reads an image printed on a medium and generates electronic data representing the image; and a processing unit which corrects the image represented by the electronic data. The processing unit implements the functions of: detecting, from the image represented by the electronic data, a first pattern having a first size and shape that is attached to the image; measuring a degree of degradation by measuring an amount of displacement of the size of the detected first pattern from the first size; and correcting the image represented by the electronic data to reduce the degree of degradation.
摘要:
When a decrypting apparatus receives an encrypted image, the apparatus detects the state of the encrypted image and determines whether the encrypted image is an image passed through only a digital medium or an analog medium, according to the state of the encrypted image. When the encrypted image is determined to be the image passed through only the digital medium, the decrypting apparatus switches to perform a digital decryption process and, when the encrypted image is determined to be the image passed through the analog medium, the decrypting apparatus switches to perform an analog decryption process.

An image processing device includes, a block division unit configured to divide at least a part of an area of an input image into a plurality of blocks; a block classification unit configured to classify each block in the input image into a white block and a black block based on a variance of luminance values in a white block that typically includes white pixels and a variance of luminance values in a black block that includes at least black pixels among white pixels and black pixels; and a luminance correction unit configured to correct a luminance value of each pixel in a black block in the input image based on an average luminance value of pixels in one or more white blocks in the vicinity of the black block.
