Abstract

A quantization apparatus includes: an imaging unit that converts statistical data at a position in a real space into a pixel value of a coordinate, which is associated with the position, in an image; and a derivation unit that derives a quantization parameter corresponding to a quantization width of the pixel value for each of one or more positions in the real space with respect to a part or a whole of the image. The quantization apparatus may further include a purpose acquisition unit that acquires information indicating a purpose related to statistics. The derivation unit may derive the quantization parameter corresponding to the quantization width that is larger as the pixel value is larger.
