Image processing method and apparatus

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for execution by the processor, the program including instructions to:
• obtain multiple video frames, wherein the multiple video frames are collected from a same scene at different angles;
• determine depth maps of the multiple video frames according to corresponding pixels among the multiple video frames;
• supplement background missing regions of the multiple video frames according to depth maps of the multiple video frames, to obtain supplemented video frames of the multiple video frames and depth maps of the multiple supplemented video frames;
• generate alpha images of the multiple video frames according to an occlusion relationship between the multiple video frames and supplemented video frames of the multiple video frames in a background missing region, wherein the alpha images of the multiple video frames each comprise alpha values that indicate a portion of the video frame that corresponds to a supplemented portion and that further indicate a portion of the video frame that corresponds to a portion of the video frame other than the supplemented portion;
• and
• generate a browsing frame at a browsing angle according to the multiple video frames, the supplemented video frames of the multiple video frames, and the alpha images of the multiple video frames.
