  • Publication number: 20230388624
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises one or more processors; and one or more memories storing executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the image capturing control apparatus to function as: a first obtaining unit configured to obtain situation information representing a situation of image capturing, a second obtaining unit configured to obtain composition information representing image composition requested for image capturing in the situation, based on the situation information, a third obtaining unit configured to obtain a parameter of an image capture apparatus, and a generating unit configured to generate arrangement information representing proposed arrangement of an image capture apparatus that performs image capturing in the situation, based on the composition information and the parameter.

  • Publication number: 20150331790
    Abstract: In a non-volatile memory such as a NAND flash memory, notification of an area that is no longer needed is provided by a TRIM command, and deletion of the unneeded area is executed by garbage collection. The TRIM command and execution of the garbage collection are detected, and notification thereof is provided, whereby the user can confirm that the data on a solid state drive is invalidated.

  • Patent number: 8422732
    Abstract: An apparatus and method specify the presence/absence of an alteration and an alteration position of an image. A block-division unit divides image data into image data of a first unit including a predetermined number of pixels. A block calculation unit calculates an image data coefficient of the first unit. A cell-division unit divides one image data of the first unit into image data of a second unit. A cell calculation unit calculates an image data coefficient of the second unit. First verification data is generated by selecting two image data coefficients of the first unit and generating, for one pair, data representing the magnitude relation of the image data coefficients of the first unit. Second verification data is generated by selecting two image data coefficients of the second unit and generating, for one pair, data representing the magnitude relation of the image data coefficients of the second unit.

  • Patent number: 8125691
    Abstract: A watermark information embedding apparatus generates a document image from electronic document data that has been input thereto, modifies the electronic document data based upon the document image and embeds information in the electronic document data. The apparatus includes a document image generator for generating a document image from the electronic document data; a document analyzer for detecting layout information of each constituent image in the generated document image; a normalization information calculation unit for calculating normalization information, which is for normalizing placement of each constituent image, based upon the detected layout information; a modification unit for modifying the electronic document data; and an embedding unit for embedding information in the modified electronic document data.
