  • Publication number: 20240397004
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes circuitry; and a memory storing computer-executable instructions that cause the circuitry to execute detecting an error in a character, a word, or a sentence in image data; adding, to the image data, information of the detected error when the error is detected, as invisible information that cannot be viewed or that is difficult to view in an image represented by the image data; and controlling output of the image data by changing an output method of the image data in which the error is detected, based on a detection result of detecting the error or the invisible information.

  • Patent number: 11528387
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to recognize a character in an original image by character recognition, to generate a font, calculate a certainty factor of the character recognition, determine a color of the font based on the certainty factor by a first processing method, and determine a replacement color by a second processing method based on the certainty factor, and convert the original image into an editable electronic document including the font and an image in which the character pixel has the replacement color. The replacement color is a color to which a color of a character pixel of the recognized character is replaced.

  • Patent number: 11431877
    Abstract: An image processing device includes circuitry. The circuitry is configured to process a background image into which a latent image is embedded, to obtain an effect to conceal the latent image. The circuitry is configured to perform color conversion of the background image to obtain a color-matching masking effect to conceal the latent image. The circuitry is configured to embed the latent image in the background image processed and converted, to generate an image embedded with the latent image.

  • Publication number: 20070269390
    Abstract: Oil-in-water emulsion containing (1) an emulsifying system containing at least one silicone surfactant of molecular weight greater than or equal to 10,000, at least one non-ionic cosurfactant, and at least one anionic cosurfactant, and (2) at least one monohydric alcohol containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, where the oils of the oily phase are soluble in the monohydric alcohol. These compositions exhibit good stability and good cosmetic properties. They can be used in many cosmetic and dermatological applications.
