[Tex/LaTex] Reproducing the Chapter-Picture Style of the Legrand Orange Book

koma-scriptscrbooktemplates

I'm trying to reproduce the Chapter-Picture style of The Legrand Orange Book but with the scrbook class. Since the picture and chapter title is set by fancyhdr I can not just use the same code, as scrbook does not work well with the template. Hence I'm trying to reproduce this part. Till now, I'm able to insert the picture and draw the orange box with some text. However I don't know how to make this working that I can use it as a function that sets the title automatically.

Edit: Is it actually needed or good practice to use tikz for this kind of things?

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrbook}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{ocre}{RGB}{243,102,25}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
  \node at (current page.north west)
  {\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node[anchor=north west,inner sep=0pt] at (0,0) {\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{pic}}; 
    \draw[anchor=west] (5cm,-9cm) node [line width=2pt,rounded corners=15pt,draw=ocre,fill=white,fill opacity=0.5,inner sep=15pt]{\strut\makebox[13cm]{}};
    \draw[anchor=west] (5.3cm,-9.1cm) node {\huge\sffamily\bfseries\color{black}1. Title of a Chapter\strut};
  \end{tikzpicture}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\vspace*{10cm}

Content of the chapter.

Update redefining \chapterlinesformat

Since KOMA-Script version 3.19 the command \chapterlinesformat can be redefined to change the layout of chapter titles that have no prefix line. Now it is possible to set a different entry for the page headings or to use the starred versions of the chapter title command. Chapter titles with more than one line are possible too.

The following example uses open=any to show that it also works on left handed pages.

\documentclass[open=any]{scrbook}[2015/10/03]

Just use \renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Alph{chapter}} after \backmatter. But in my point of view, \backmatter is of no use here.

Update with some improvements, replacing \backmatter by an \appendix command with slightly changed chapter header settings. \appendix switches to alpha counting by macro design.
