Abstract

The present application discloses an image processing method and image processing apparatus for recognizing a target object. The image processing method comprises: acquiring an original image comprising a target object; performing binarization processing on the original image, to obtain a binarized image; performing, by a multi-core processor, one-dimensional scanning in a parallel manner on each pixel row of the binarized image, to extract one-dimensional connected regions of each pixel row of the binarized image; combining adjacent pixel rows to generate a first maximum connected region including a plurality of one-dimensional connected regions; and with regard to respective pixel rows of the first maximum connected region, aligning heads of initial one-dimensional connected regions of the respective pixel rows, and aligning tails of final one-dimensional connected regions of the respective pixel rows, so as to generate a second maximum connected region; performing two-dimensional scanning on the aligned heads and the aligned tails of the second maximum connected region, to recognize the target object.
