An image processing device for compressing image data using conversion to
spatial frequency components may include a dividing section that divides
the image data into a plurality of pixel blocks and computes spatial
frequency components of each pixel block; a segmenting section that
computes an intensity of predetermined high frequency components from
information of the spatial frequency components and segments the image
data into a first plane formed by including a pixel block having an
intensity which is less than a predetermined threshold value and into a
second plane formed by including a pixel block having an intensity which
is equal to or greater than the threshold value; a compression section
that executes compression for the first plane image data by applying
quantization and entropy coding using the spatial frequency components
information; and a run length compression section that executes run
length compression of the second plane image data.
