Image processing apparatus, image data processing method, and recording medium

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• a converter that subjects an image data to a predetermined conversion to thereby generate a converted image data;
• an extractor that extracts embedded data, from the image data, that is data embedded in the image data;
• a decompressor that decompresses the embedded data extracted to thereby generate a compressed embedded data;
• and
• an arithmetic unit that conducts an arithmetic operation on the converted image data the compressed embedded data.

A method of processing image data, the method being carried out by an image processing apparatus that transmits the image data processed to other apparatus, comprising:

• generating an image data;
• subjecting the image data to a first conversion to thereby generate a first image data;
• subjecting the first image data to a second conversion to thereby generate a second image data;
• conducting an arithmetic operation on the image data and the second image data to thereby generate a third image data;
• compressing the third image data to thereby generate a compressed image data;
• and
• embedding the compressed image data in the first image data.

A method of processing image data, the method being carried out by an image processing apparatus that receives the image data from other apparatus, comprising:

• subjecting the image data received to a predetermined conversion to thereby generate a converted image data;
• extracting embedded data, from the image data, that is data embedded in the image data;
• decompressing the embedded data extracted to thereby generate a compressed embedded data;
• conducting an arithmetic operation on the converted image data the compressed embedded data to thereby generate an arithmetic data;
• and
• visualizing the arithmetic data.

A computer-readable recording medium that records a computer program that makes a computer process an image data and transmit the image data processed to other apparatus, the computer program making the computer execute:

• generating an image data;
• subjecting the image data to a first conversion to thereby generate a first image data;
• subjecting the first image data to a second conversion to thereby generate a second image data;
• conducting an arithmetic operation on the image data and the second image data to thereby generate a third image data;
• compressing the third image data to thereby generate a compressed image data;
• and
• embedding the compressed image data in the first image data.
