Abstract:
An image processing method is provided. The method is configured to process the color-block image output by the image sensor. The face region of the color-block image is determined. A part of the color-block image beyond the face region is converted into a first simulation image using a first interpolation algorithm. A part of the color-block image within the face region is converted into a second simulation image using a second interpolation algorithm. The complexity of the second interpolation algorithm is less than that of the first interpolation algorithm. The first simulation image and the second simulation image are merged into a simulation image corresponding to the color-block image. An image processing apparatus and an electronic device are provided. With the image processing method, the image processing apparatus and the electronic device, distinguishability and resolution of the image are improved, and time required for processing the image is reduced.
