Abstract
An image processing method and apparatus are provided. During image matting on an original image, a plurality of segmented images including different regions are first obtained through semantic segmentation. Further, according to the segmented images, lines of different widths are drawn on a contour line of a foreground region to obtain a target trimap. Finally, a target image is generated based on the target trimap. For the target trimap, because lines of different widths are drawn on the contour line of the foreground region, pertinent image matting may be implemented for different regions, so that image matting precision may be improved for a region requiring fine image matting, and image matting precision of another region can also be ensured. In this way, a final image obtained through image matting is fine and natural.
