Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a determining unit that determines at least one embed area in an area that is not accessed by an application in an image. An embedding unit embeds at least one piece of embed information into the embed area. A quantizer quantizes the image embedded with the embed information. An encoder encodes the image quantized.
