This application discloses an image processing method. The method includes: obtaining to-be-rendered data; performing rasterization processing on the to-be-rendered data to obtain a first image; and identifying a target object in the first image by using an identifier, and performing ray tracing processing on the target object to obtain a second image. Because ray tracing processing is performed on a local object in an image, computing power requirement for image rendering is reduced, so that an electronic device with limited computing power can also implement image rendering by using the ray tracing processing, to improve image rendering effect.
