Abstract
An embodiment of this invention is an image processing device, including: a sectioning unit for sectioning an image into a plurality of sections to be processed; and a classification unit for classifying the plurality of sections to be processed into at least a clarification-processing-adapted area for embedding a latent image into the image, and an obfuscation-processing-adapted area for embedding a digital watermark into the image based on a characteristic of the image.
Claims14
An image processing device, comprising:
- a sectioning unit for sectioning an image into a plurality of sections to be processed;
- and
- a classification unit for classifying the plurality of sections to be processed into at least a clarification-processing-adapted area for embedding a latent image into the image, and an obfuscation-processing-adapted area for embedding a digital watermark into the image based on a characteristic of the image.
An image processing method, comprising:
- sectioning an image into a plurality of sections to be processed;
- and
- classifying the plurality of sections to be processed into at least a clarification-processing-adapted area for embedding a latent image into the image, and an obfuscation-processing-adapted area for embedding a digital watermark into the image based on a characteristic of the image.
An image generation method, comprising:
- sectioning an image into a plurality of sections to be processed;
- classifying the plurality of sections to be processed into at least a clarification-processing-adapted area for embedding a latent image into the image, and an obfuscation-processing-adapted area for embedding a digital watermark into the image based on a characteristic of the image;
- embedding the latent image into the clarification-processing-adapted area;
- and
- embedding the digital watermark into the obfuscation-processing-adapted area.
