  • Publication number: 20190206117
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image processing method, an intelligent terminal, and a storage device. The image processing method may include: obtaining an original image, and obtaining mask information of a target object from the original image, wherein the mask information includes classification information for foreground and background of the target object; denoising the original image to obtain a denoised image of the original image; and obtaining a target image from the denoised image according to the mask information of the target object. The present disclosure can improve the quality of the image by denoising the original image, and the obtained target image can be a minimum-sized image including all the information of the target object. Because the size of the image is reduced without losing valid information, the calculation amount of the 3D synthesis can be greatly reduced.
