Background pattern image synthesizing apparatus, background pattern image synthesis method, and computer program

摘要

A background pattern image combining apparatus for combining a background pattern image with an input image is provided. The background pattern image includes a plurality of first isolated points having a size that can be read by an image reader and a plurality of second isolated points having a size that cannot be read by the image reader. The background pattern image combining apparatus includes a detector that detects, in the input image, a specific area which is an area having a specific state, and a combining portion that combines the background pattern image with the input image by placing not the plurality of first isolated points but the plurality of second isolated points in the specific area, and, by placing the plurality of first isolated points and the plurality of second isolated points in an area other than the specific area.
