IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, APPARATUS, DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The present disclosure provides an image processing method, an apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The method includes: based on a smear region in an image to be processed, by taking a target image as an image of a bottom layer, an image pyramid is constructed for the target image; in an order from a top layer to the bottom layer, a matching updating process is performed on an image of each layer in the image pyramid, sequentially; a target patch corresponding to a patch to be matched is determined on the input image of the current layer based on similarity matching; the input image of the current layer is updated based on the target patch; based on an updated image corresponding to the image of the bottom layer in the image pyramid, a target effect image corresponding to the image to be processed is generated.
