Image processing method and apparatus

An image processing method, applied to an electronic device with a display screen, the method comprising:

• determining a gazing region corresponding to a user gazing at the display screen at a current time;
• obtaining an image to be processed;
• determining data information of an image of the gazing region in the image to be processed;
• determining image processing complexity of the image of the gazing region based on the data information of the image of the gazing region;
• obtaining an image rendering capability of a graphics processor (GPU) of the electronic device;
• determining a first resolution and a first refresh rate corresponding to the image of the gazing region based on the image processing complexity of the image of the gazing region and the image rendering capability of the GPU;
• and
• rendering the image of the gazing region based on the first resolution and the first refresh rate to obtain a rendered image to be processed to display the rendered image to be processed through the display screen;
• and
• the method further comprising:
• determining image processing complexity of the image to be processed;
• determining a target resolution and a target refresh rate of the image to be processed based on the image processing complexity of the image to be processed and the image rendering capability of the GPU;
• determining a second resolution and a second refresh rate corresponding to an image of a non-gazing region, wherein the non-gazing region is a region in a display region of the display screen except for the gazing region;
• and
• rendering the image of the non-gazing region by using the second resolution and the second refresh rate to obtain a rendered image of the non-gazing region;
• wherein
• determining the image processing complexity of the image of the gazing region based on the data information of the image of the gazing region includes:
• determining the image processing complexity of the image of the gazing region based on the data information of the image of the gazing region and a preset complexity database;
• wherein the preset complexity database includes a corresponding relationship between the data information and the image processing complexity of the image, and the data information of the image of the gazing region includes one or more of a number of sub-images and a number of layers of the image of the gazing region;
• and
• wherein the second resolution is a difference between the target resolution and the first resolution.
