<p>A data processing apparatus (100) which compresses image data determines whether each of a plurality of regions obtained by segmenting the image data is a first region in which all the pixels are represented by a specific color. Upon determining that the region is not the first region, the apparatus determines whether the region is a second region (501) adjacent to the first region or a third region (502) which is not adjacent to the first region. The apparatus sets the compression rate of the image data of the second region to a rate lower than that of the image data of the third region, and compresses the image data of the second and third regions.</p> |
