Abstract
This invention decodes image data without overwriting the decompression result of the first image data by that of the second image data when the first image data compressed by the first method and the second image data compressed by the second method coexist. To do this, when decoding the image data in which the first image data compressed by the first method and the second image data compressed by the second method different from the first method coexist, a lossy-decoding unit decodes the first image data. Based on boundary information indicating a compression region compressed by the second method, a lossless-decoding unit selectively outputs pixel data decoded by the lossy-decoding unit or pixel data obtained by decoding the second image data of the compression region.
