Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a recognition unit that recognizes a layout of a line including a character string in an image read from an original; a determination unit that determines a size of a region in which additional information is embedded so as to include at least a part of a line including a character string in the region, based on the layout recognized by the recognition unit; a dividing unit that divides the image read from the original based on the size of the region determined by the determination unit; and an embedding unit that embeds the additional information in the image divided by the dividing unit.
Claims6
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a recognition unit that recognizes a layout of a line including a character string in an image read from an original;
- a determination unit that determines a size of a region in which additional information is embedded so as to include at least a part of a line including a character string in the region, based on the layout recognized by the recognition unit;
- a dividing unit that divides the image read from the original based on the size of the region determined by the determination unit;
- and
- an embedding unit that embeds the additional information in the image divided by the dividing unit.
An image forming system comprising a first communication apparatus that embeds additional information in an image, and a second communication apparatus that receives information of the image in which the additional information is embedded from the first communication apparatus and detects the additional information from the information of the image,
- the first communication apparatus including:
- a recognition unit that recognizes a layout of a line including a character string in an image read from an original;
- a determination unit that determines a size of a region in which the additional information is embedded so as to include at least a part of a line including a character string in the region, based on the layout recognized by the recognition unit;
- a dividing unit that divides the image read from the original based on the size of the region determined by the determination unit;
- and
- an embedding unit that embeds the additional information in the image divided by the dividing unit.
A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image processing, the process comprising:
- recognizing a layout of a line including a character string in an image read from an original;
- determining a size of a region in which additional information is embedded so as to include at least a part of a line including a character string in the region, based on the recognized layout;
- dividing the image read from the original based on the determined size of the region;
- and
- embedding the additional information in the divided image.
