1. A digital watermark embedding method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring embedding data to be embedded as a digital watermark;
forming packing data in which said embedding data is repeatedly connected at least three times to be sequential without interval;
forming real embedding information in which redundancy bits with a fixed length that are used for error correction of information bits are added immediately after said information bits in which said packing data is subdivided into data each having a fixed length; and
embedding real embedding information into image data.

Abstract
Embedding data to be embedded as a digital watermark is acquired. Packing data is formed in which the embedding data is repeatedly connected three times or more sequentially without interval. Real embedding information is formed such that a redundancy bit with a fixed length that is used for an error correction of an information bit is added immediately after the information bit in which the packing data is subdivided into data each having a fixed length. The real embedding information is embedded into the image data itself. The embedding mechanism for the information is not easily understood, and security level is high.

5. A recording medium for recording image data, said recording medium including a data structure stored thereon, said image data being formed from embedding data into an original image data as a digital watermark, said data structure comprising:
-
an area for storing subdivided data, said subdivided data being formed from subdividing packing data into data each having a fixed length, the packing data being formed from repeatedly connecting said embedding data at least three times sequentially without interval; and
an area for storing redundancy bits with a fixed length that are used for error correction of information bits;
wherein said area for storing said redundancy bits is arranged immediately after said area for storing said subdivided data. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
