Abstract
Disclosed herein is an information processing device including a bitplane expanding section, a coding section, a selecting section, and a selection controlling section. The bitplane expanding section expands image data into bitplanes as sets of bits at identical places in each unit of a predetermined number of pieces of data each having a bit depth of a plurality of bits. The coding section codes the image data expanded by the bitplane expanding section in each the bitplane in predetermined order. The selecting section selects compressed data and non-compressed data as a result of coding of the image data. The selection controlling section controls the coding section to stop a coding process and selecting the non-compressed data for a bitplane situated at a position subsequent to a bitplane for which the non-compressed data is selected by the selecting section in the predetermined order.
