Image processing method and apparatus, computer device, and storage medium

An image processing apparatus, the apparatus being deployed on a computer device, and comprising:

• a graphic card configured to undertake an image output task and a computer storage medium, the graphic card comprising a graphics processing unit (GPU), a graphic card shader, and rendering pipelines,
• the computer storage medium storing one or more instructions, the one or more instructions being suitable to be loaded by the graphic card and perform:
• inputting, by using an input graphic card shader buffer block connected to the graphic card shader, a target compression texture resource of a target image to the graphic card shader, the target compression texture resource having a corresponding compression texture format, the target compression texture resource comprising a plurality of compression texture blocks;
• allocating a plurality of target work groups for decoding to the plurality of compression texture blocks in the graphic card shader, wherein the graphic card shader is a processing unit run in the graphic card and includes a plurality of work groups independent of each other, and each work group being a sub-processing unit having a decoding capability;
• distributing each compression texture block to a corresponding target work group of the plurality of work groups in the graphic card shader,
• decoding in parallel, by the target work groups in the graphic card shader, the compression texture blocks according to the compression texture format, to obtain target texture data of the target image, the target texture data comprising decoded data corresponding to the compression texture blocks;
• and
• performing, by the rendering pipelines, image rendering according to the target texture data to obtain the target image, wherein the rendering pipelines are parallel processing units that process graphic signals inside the graphic card and are independent of each other.
