Image processing method and apparatus, and storage medium

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory configured to store processor-executable instructions,
• wherein the processor is configured to invoke the instructions stored in the memory, so as to:
• perform feature extraction on a to-be-processed image to obtain a first feature map of the to-be-processed image;
• perform target region prediction on the first feature map to determine a first region where a target is located in the first feature map;
• and
• perform key point detection on the first feature map according to the first region to determine target key point information of the to-be-processed image.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having computer program instructions stored thereon, wherein when the computer program instructions are executed by a processor, the processor is caused to perform the operations of:

• performing feature extraction on a to-be-processed image to obtain a first feature map of the to-be-processed image;
• performing target region prediction on the first feature map to determine a first region where a target is located in the first feature map;
• and
• performing key point detection on the first feature map according to the first region to determine target key point information of the to-be-processed image.
