1. An apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
acquiring data representing a material appearance of a surface of an object;
selecting, based on the data, one of a coding method for coding by providing a scalability of a bit plane and a coding method for coding by providing a scalability of resolution; and
outputting the data encoded by the selected coding method, wherein if the data is data regarding diffusion reflection intensity, the one or more processors select the coding method for coding by providing a scalability of the bit plane.
