S1l 
Detect an image to be processed to determine multiple 
target regions in the image to be processed and categories 
of the multiple target regions 
S12 
Perform target recognition on the multiple target regions 
respectively according to the categories of the multiple 
target regions, to obtain recognition results of the 
multiple target regions 
S13 
Determine association information among the target 
regions according to the position and/or recognition result 
of each target region.  
FIG. I 
(57) Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium.  
If The method includes: detecting an image to be processed to determine multiple target regions in the image to be processedand categories 
of the multiple target regions, the image to be processed at least comprising a part of a human body and a pail of an image ona game table, 
and the multiple target regions comprising human-related target regions and game-related target regions; performing target recognition 
01on the multiple target regions respectively according to the categories of the multiple target regions, to obtain recognition results ofthe 
multiple target regions; and determining association informationamong the target regions according to the position and/or recognition 
result of each target region. Embodiments of the present disclosure may implement automatic recognition and association ofthe target.
