1. An image processing method for a virtual reality display system, comprising:
in response to the reading of the first image used in the current frame cycle from the first shared buffer being finished, storing a fourth image obtained from the virtual reality scene to the first shared buffer, wherein the fourth image is used in a next frame cycle later than the current frame cycle, and
the depth estimation operation on the first image used in the current frame cycle and the image capturing operation for obtaining the fourth image used in the next frame cycle are performed simultaneously.
