Image marker attaching apparatus and method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A marker attaching apparatus for attaching to an image a positioning marker for detecting a specific area in the image, comprising:
- an area size detection unit to detect a size of an area to which the positioning marker is attached;
a marker adjustment unit to adjust a size or a shape of the positioning marker depending on the detected size of the area and when the size of the of the detected area is smaller than a threshold, generating a new positioning marker by coupling two or more positioning markers to maintain a frequency characteristic of the coupled positioning markers; and
a marker attaching unit to attach the adjusted positioning marker to the image.

7. A marker attaching method conducted by a marker attaching apparatus for attaching to an image a positioning marker for detecting a specific area in the image, comprising:
-
an area size detecting step to detect a size of an area to which the positioning marker is attached; a marker adjusting step to adjust a size or a shape of the positioning marker depending on the detected size of the area and when the size of the of the detected area is smaller than a threshold, generating a new positioning marker by coupling two or more positioning markers to maintain a frequency characteristic of the coupled positioning markers; and a marker attaching step to attach the adjusted positioning marker to the image printed on an analog medium. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
