Graphic code processing method and apparatus, and storage medium

A graphic code processing apparatus, comprising:

• a capture unit configured to capture an environment comprising a graphic code;
• a memory storing computer program instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and, when executing the computer program instructions, configured to perform:
• determining continuous distribution regions of pixels of a captured image in different reference directions, and identifying an overlapping region of the continuous distribution regions as a potential distribution region of the graphic code;
• identifying a scanning step length from a partial image corresponding to the potential distribution region, and scanning the partial image based on the scanning step length to obtain a graphic code image;
• and
• performing decoding processing based on the graphic code image, until decoding succeeds and information modulated in the graphic code is obtained from the graphic code image.
