IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE RECOGNITION APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND MEDIUM

Disclosed is an image processing method, including: storing, in a process of capturing an image in real-time through an image recognition apparatus, the captured real-time image in an image splicing module by a first thread; performing, in the process of storing the captured real-time image by the first thread, real-time splicing on the stored real-time image by a second thread to obtain an intermediate spliced image; performing character recognition on the intermediate spliced image through a lightweight optical character recognition model to obtain an intermediate recognition result; obtaining, in a case of detecting a state change of the image recognition apparatus, an image set including all images in the image splicing module, and performing the character recognition on the image set through a general optical character recognition model to obtain a final recognition result. The image processing method, the image recognition apparatus, the electronic device, and the medium provided in the present disclosure can improve recognition real-time performance of character recognition performed on the intermediate spliced image and shorten a response time of a first character displayed on a screen.
