The standardized containers extend between a bottom surface extending generally horizontally and a top surface spaced from and generally parallel to the bottom surface. The standardized containers further include an opening side perpendicular to the top and bottom surfaces and a door flange extending along the opening side and beyond the top surface. The standardized containers further include a lifting flange attached to the top surface for receiving a lifting tool. The standardized containers are disposed in the storage rack with their respective opening sides facing away from an access space for allowing a retrieval transport apparatus to move in a substantially horizontal plane between the access space to engage the lifting flange without being obstructed by the door flange.

Abstract: A compressed data generator compresses, by using a lossless compressor and a lossy compressor, image data in units of first blocks to generate a plurality of types of compressed data. A selector performs selection processing in units of second blocks each including a predetermined number N of first blocks, where N is an integer of 1 or more. The selection processing involves determining whether each of the plurality of types of compressed data satisfies a selection condition and selecting one piece of compressed data that satisfies the selection condition. The selection condition includes a data size condition that a data size of all the first blocks included in the second block is less than or equal to a predetermined value, and a data accuracy condition that information maintaining accuracy is highest among compressed data that satisfy the data size condition.
