Road traffic video detection method and apparatus thereof

The invention is suitable for the safety monitoring field and provides a road traffic video detection method and an apparatus thereof. The method comprises the following steps: collecting two video images through two cameras and assigning a detection area in the two collected video images; detecting a fuzzy motion target area according to the video image in the assigned detection area of any one collected video image; detecting depth information of a scene according to the two collected video images; detecting a clear target area according to the fuzzy motion target area and the depth information of the scene. In embodiments of the invention, the fuzzy motion target area and the depth information of the scene can be acquired according to the two collected video images, and then the clear target area can be determined according to the acquired fuzzy motion target area and the depth information of the scene. The depth information changes little when being disturbed by illumination change or shadow or crowded vehicles and pedestrian. Therefore, by using the method and the apparatus of the invention, accuracy of moving target detection can be effectively raised.
