An image processing method includes: acquiring first image data of a first image, the first image data including pixel values of a plurality of pixels in the first image; a first compression-allowed region existing in the first image, obtaining region expression information of the first compression-allowed region, the first compression-allowed region including a region where a plurality of first pixels are located, and a difference between pixel values of any two first pixels in the plurality of first pixels being within a preset range; determining a region pixel value of the first compression-allowed region according to a pixel value of at least one first pixel in the first compression-allowed region; and generating second image data of the first image, the second image data including region expression information and the region pixel value of the first compression-allowed region.
