Claim Text:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a memory configured to store a program; and a processor configured to execute the program stored in the memory, wherein the processor is to acquire information corresponding to a degree of compression of lossy-compressed data to be processed corresponding to a predetermined number of gradation levels; and determine, based on the acquired information, a number of gradation levels to be obtained after the lossy-compressed data corresponding to the predetermined number of gradation levels is expanded and gradation conversion is performed so that the predetermined number of gradation levels of the expanded data is reduced, and wherein the processor determines a first number of gradation levels as the number of gradation levels in a case where the degree of compression of the data to be processed is more than a first threshold value, and determines a second number of gradation levels as the number of gradation levels in a case where the degree of compression of the data to be processed is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the first number of gradation levels being smaller than the second number of gradation levels.
