1. A pathological image processing method performed by an electronic device, comprising:
determining seed pixels of an immune cell region from a pathological image;
obtaining a seed pixel mask image corresponding to the seed pixels of the immune cell region from the pathological image based on the seed pixels of the immune cell region;
segmenting an epithelial cell region in the pathological image, to obtain an epithelial cell mask image of the pathological image;
fusing the seed pixel mask image and the epithelial cell mask image of the pathological image, to obtain an effective seed pixel mask image corresponding to the immune cell region in the pathological image;
performing morphological processing on the effective seed pixel mask image, to obtain a morphological effective seed pixel mask image; and
determining a ratio value of the immune cell region in the pathological image based on the morphological effective seed pixel mask image.
