Abstract

An image processing method includes obtaining multiple video frames, where the multiple video frames are collected from a same scene at different angles and determining a depth map of each video frame according to corresponding pixels among the multiple video frames; supplementing 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. The method also includes generating an alpha image of each video frame according to an occlusion relationship between each of the multiple video frames and a supplemented video frame of each video frame in a background missing region and generating a browsing frame at a specified browsing angle according to the multiple video frames, the supplemented video frames of the multiple video frames, and alpha images of the multiple video frames.
