Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an extracting unit to extract watermark data from image data of an image; a generating unit to generate a watermark image based on the watermark data; and a superimposing unit to superimpose the watermark image on the image.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program for image processing are provided to perform operations of generating a verification document image and detecting tampering on the verification document image. The verification document image is generated by a document image generator, which adds a verification pattern to an original document image received from a document provider. A tampering detector determines whether the verification document image has been tampered based on the verification pattern. The output unit prints out, under control of a controller, the verification document image as well as information on whether tampering is detected. The above operations are performed on a network, such as the Internet.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a first pattern detecting mechanism, a memory, and a pattern identity determining mechanism. The first pattern detecting mechanism detects a background dot pattern embedded in a background image included in image data of an original image from the image data. The memory stores an anti-copy background dot pattern. The pattern identity determining mechanism compares the detected background dot pattern with the anti-copy background dot pattern stored in the memory and determines that the detected background dot pattern is substantially identical to the anti-copy background dot pattern stored in the memory.

Abstract: In a multifunction product, it is determined whether a detachable expansion board for realizing an electronic watermark function has been mounted. When the expansion board has been mounted, a display concerning the electronic watermark function is automatically displayed on an operation panel of the multifunction product.

Abstract: An image processing method includes the steps of: dividing digital content into run-lengths each including one or more consecutive pixels having an identical color; and embedding digital watermark information in the run-lengths while saving topology (first topology preservation law).

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a wavelet transform unit that performs compression encoding in a hierarchical manner by performing discrete wavelet transform on pixel values for each of one or more rectangular regions dividing image data. A digital watermark obtaining unit obtains digital watermark data to be embedded into wavelet coefficients generated by the wavelet transform unit. A characteristics extracting unit extracts characteristics of the wavelet coefficients for each of the rectangular regions. An embedding specification determination unit determines an embedding specification of the digital watermark data with respect to the wavelet coefficients in accordance with the characteristics of the wavelet coefficients for each of the rectangular regions that are extracted by the characteristics extracting unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is provided with an image expansion unit to expand an image compressed code and to output an expanded image data, the image compressed code is obtained by compressing a master image data, and a picture quality judging unit to judge a relative picture quality of the expanded image data with respect to a picture quality of the master image data, based on the image compressed code, and to generate picture quality information indicating the relative picture quality.

Abstract: An image-area separation apparatus includes a SIMD processor performing a SIMD process for performing an image-area separation process and an image-area separation mechanism for performing an image-separation operation according to the SIMD process performed by the SIMD processor. The image-area separating apparatus performs an image-area separation operation to separate character images from figure images by means of software while the SIMD-typed processor achieves a high-speed image data processing.

Abstract: An image processing device including an area generation unit configured to generate a supplemental data-embedded area in image data having content data separate from an area occupied by the content data, and a data embedding unit configured to embed supplemental data in the supplemental data-embedded area.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit, an area setting unit, and an adding unit. The obtaining unit obtains an adding method by which additional information is to be added to image data containing content information. The area setting unit sets an additional-information area to which the additional information is to be added based on the adding method and the content information. The adding unit adds the additional information to the additional-information area by the adding method.

Abstract: Message data are picked up by using a decoder 2 from received signals received by a receiver portion 1 of a radio paging receiver, and stored in a RAM 4a of a CPU 4. An informing portion 9 informs a user of the message. The user designates any character sequences in the message stored in the RAM 4a by a character sequence designating unit 4b. A character sequence retrieving unit 4c retrieves whether or not designated character sequences are contained in stored messages. When the messages containing the designated character sequences are detected, a time counting unit 4d monitors whether or not a predetermined time has been lapsed after storage of concerned messages. An erasing unit 4e erases unnecessary messages stored in the RAM 4a from the RAM 4a after the predetermined time has been lapsed.
