Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: a coding mechanism for generating hierarchical data hierarchized in descending order of importance with respect to resolution from image data, and coding the hierarchical data for each hierarchy; and a redundancy coding mechanism for blocking the hierarchical data for each of the hierarchies using a block size determined for each of the hierarchies on the basis of dependencies of the hierarchies between pieces of the hierarchical data generated by the coding mechanism or between the hierarchical data and the image data, and performing redundancy coding to generate redundant data of the hierarchical data for each of the blocks.

An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a coding means for generating hierarchical data hierarchized in descending order of importance with respect to resolution from image data, and coding the hierarchical data for each hierarchy;
- and
- a redundancy coding means for blocking the hierarchical data for each of the hierarchies using a block size determined for each of the hierarchies on the basis of dependencies of the hierarchies between pieces of the hierarchical data generated by the coding means or between the hierarchical data and the image data, and performing redundancy coding to generate redundant data of the hierarchical data for each of the blocks.
A method of processing information in an information processing apparatus processing image data, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating by a coding means hierarchical data hierarchized in descending order of importance with respect to resolution from the image data, and coding the hierarchical data for each hierarchy;
- and
- blocking the hierarchical data by a redundancy coding means for each of the hierarchies using a block size determined for each of the hierarchies on the basis of dependencies of the hierarchies between pieces of the hierarchical data or between the hierarchical data and the image data, and performing redundancy coding to generate redundant data of the hierarchical data for each of the blocks.
