Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a determination, first, second and third receiving, and first and second checking units, and a controller. When a determination result matches a first determination result, the first checking unit outputs a matching determination result as the final output. The second checking unit checks the first determination result against a second. The first and second determination results are respectively received by the first and second receiving units. When the first determination result matches the second, the second checking unit outputs the matching determination result as the final output. When the input information is received, the controller operates the determination, first receiving, and first checking units. When it is determined that the determination result does not match the first determination result, the controller operates selectively one of a unit set and the third receiving unit. The unit set is constituted by the second receiving and checking units.

Abstract: Filtering for enhancing the reversible compression rate is performed for image data as preprocessing of compression processing. For image processing after the filtering, repeating of compression and decompression according to the reversible compression technique corresponding to the filtering is allowed. As the filtering and reversible compression processing are performed, a sufficient compression ratio is provided and accumulation of image quality degradation by repeating compression and decompression is prevented.
