Abstract: An electronic image into which an electronic watermark is to be embedded is divided into a plurality of image regions spatially, and pixels each having a property of being difficult to visually recognize a variation in a pixel value are extracted as adaptive pixels from each of the plurality of image regions. A variation between the pixel values of the adaptive pixels in one of the plurality of image regions and those of the adaptive pixels in an adjacent one of the plurality of image regions is produced, and the pixel values of the adaptive pixels of the plurality of image regions are varied in a time direction according to the value of an embedded bit set of the electronic watermark. An electronic-watermark-embedded image is then generated by making the variation in the pixel values of the adaptive pixels vary step by step at a boundary between the two of the plurality of image regions and/or in the time direction so that the variation makes a slow transition.

Abstract: An image of an object illuminated by illumination light having given intensity is formed as an optical image. The distance between respective points of the object is determined on the basis of a video which is obtained by acquiring the optical image with a given image pick-up gain. Here, either the intensity of the illumination light or the image pick-up gain is changed with time. The distribution of intensity of the image acquired by utilization of such intensity or image pick-up gain reflects a time lag between the time at which the illumination light is emitted from a light source and the time at which the light reflected from individual points of the object reaches an image pick-up device. The distribution of intensity includes information pertaining to the distance between the light source and the respective points of the object.
