Abstract

See full text

When information is embedded in image data by requantization, there is a trade-off relationship between a decline in image quality and resistance of the embedded information. Accordingly, the image characteristics in the vicinity of a pixel of interest in which information is to be embedded are determined and, on the basis of the result of determination, the requantization step width which prevails when the information is embedded in the pixel of interest is controlled.
