Embodiments of this application provide an image processing method and apparatus. The image processing method includes: obtaining encoded data of a first region and a neighboring region neighboring to the first region in a two-dimensional planar image, where the two-dimensional planar image is an image obtained by mapping a spherical panorama image, and the first region and the neighboring region have an overlapping region; determining a pixel value of a pixel in an image of the first region based on the encoded data of the image of the first region; determining a pixel value of a pixel in an image of the neighboring region based on the encoded data of the image of the neighboring region; and determining a target pixel value of a pixel in the overlapping region based on the pixel value of the pixel of the first region in the overlapping region and the pixel value of the pixel of the neighboring region in the overlapping region. According to the embodiments of this application, an image displaying effect can be improved.
